The foreground of prayer is the intense, immediate desire for a certain blessing which seems to be absolutely necessary for the soul to have; the background of prayer is the quiet, earnest desire that the will of God, whatever it may be, should be done. What a picture is the perfect prayer of Jesus in Gethsemane! In front burns the strong desire to escape death and to live; but behind there stands, calm and strong, the craving of the whole life for the doing of the will of God... Leave out the foreground, let there be no expression of the will of him who prays, and there is left a pure submission which is almost fatalism. Leave out the background, let there be no acceptance of the will of God, and the prayer is only an expression of self-will, a petulant claiming of the uncorrected choice of him who prays. Only when the two are there together, the special desire resting on the universal submission, the universal submission opening into the special desire, is the picture perfect and the prayer complete.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7491</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I became a philosopher, if I have so keenly sought this fame for which I'm still waiting, it's all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46520]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I became a philosopher, if I have so keenly sought this fame for which I'm still waiting, it's all been to seduce women basically.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46520</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We just didn't hit well today.
