“You see, there is “prayer” and there is God-given prayer. The former is superficial, the work of orphans who may be religious people but who are unwilling to surrender human independence to the leadership of Christ. God given prayer and praise have as their essence a waiting on God, a willingness to be wrought upon by the hammer and the fire of the Almighty, until the chains of self-centered desires fall away from the personality, and the love of Christ becomes the deepest hunger of the inner life.”
—Jack Miller, Heart of a Servant Leader
