It is the purest exercise of the faculties God has given us -- an exercise that links these faculties with the Maker to work out the intentions He had in mind in their creation. Prayer is aligning ourselves with the purposes of God...  Prayer is commitment. We don't merely co-operate with God with certain things held back within. We, the total person, co-operate. This means that co-operation equals committment. Prayer means that the total you is praying. Your whole being reaches out to God, and God reaches down to you...  Prayer is communion. Prayer is a means, but often it is an end in itself. There are times when your own wants and the needs of others drop away and you want just to look on His face and tell Him how much you love Him...

Irving teaches me the lesson of cheerfulness, Hawthorne shows me the hatefulness of sin, Longfellow gives me the soft, tranquil music of hope. Lowell makes us feel that we must give ourselves to our fellow men. Whittier sings to me of divine Fatherhood and human brotherhood. These are Christian lessons: who inspired them? Who put it into the heart of Martin Luther to nail those theses on the church door of Wittenberg? Who stirred and fired the soul of Savonarola? Who thrilled and electrified the soul of John Wesley? Jesus Christ is back of these all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It must require an inordinate share of vanity and presumption, too, after enjoying so much that is good and beautiful ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60397]]></link><description><![CDATA[It must require an inordinate share of vanity and presumption, too, after enjoying so much that is good and beautiful on earth, to ask the Lord for immortality in addition to all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reality is merely an illusion, although a very persistent one ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53031]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reality is merely an illusion, although a very persistent one]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53031</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Mary Sumner, Founder of the Mothers' Union, 1921  I would not favour a fiction to keep a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8134]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Mary Sumner, Founder of the Mothers' Union, 1921  I would not favour a fiction to keep a whole world out of hell.
