“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 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.”
