“ Prayer means keeping company with God who is already present. ”
We need faith and the mind of the Lord Jesus to recognize something of lasting value in even our most ordinary tasks.
~ Philip Yancey
Prayer is not a means of removing the unknown and predictable elements in life, but rather a way of including the unknown and unpredictable in the outworking of the grace of God in our lives.
God formed an alliance based on the world as it is, full of flaws, whereas prayer calls God to account for the world as it should be.
Change came from below, as it usually does, rather than being imposed from above.
