Prayer is surrender - surrender to the will of God and cooperation with that will. If I throw out a boat hook from a boat and catch hold of the shore and pull, do I pull the shore to me, or do I pull myself to the shore? Prayer is not pulling God to my will, but the aligning of my will to the will of God.
- E. Stanley Jones, A Song of Ascents (Quoted in Swindoll's Ultimate Book of Illustrations & Quotes, Thomas Nelson 1998, p.453)
