Q U OTES ON PRAYERQ U OTES ON PRAYERPrayer is the chief agency and activity wherebymen align themselves with God's purpose. Prayer does not consist in battering the walls of heavenfor personal benefits or the success of our plans.Rather it is the committing of ourselves for thecarrying out of His purposes. It is a telephone callto headquarters for orders. It is not bending God'swill to ours, but our will to God's. In prayer, wetap vast reservoirs of spiritual power whereby Godcan find fuller entrance into the hearts of men.
