Prayer moves the hand that moves the world!1042<\/p>\n
Prayer is the only omnipotence God grants to us.1043<\/p>\n
\u201cGive me one hundred preachers who fear nothing but sin, and desire nothing but God, and I care not a straw whether they be clergymen or laymen; such alone will shake the gates of hell and set up the kingdom of heaven on earth. God does nothing but in answer to prayer\u201d (John Wesley).1044<\/p>\n
\u201cPraying for particular things,\u201d said I, \u201calways seems to me like advising God how to run the world. Wouldn\u2019t it be wiser to assume that He knows best?\u201d \u201cOn the same principle,\u201d said he, \u201cI suppose you never ask a man next to you to pass the salt, because God knows best whether you ought to have salt or not. And I suppose you never take an umbrella, because God knows best whether you ought to be wet or dry.\u201d \u201cThat\u2019s quite different,\u201d I protested. \u201cI don\u2019t see why,\u201d said he. \u201cThe odd thing is that He should let us influence the course of events at all. But since He let us do it in one way, I don\u2019t see why He shouldn\u2019t let us do it in the other.\u201d [From C. S. Lewis, God in the Dock<\/i> (Grand Rapids: Wm. B. Eerdmans, 1970), p. 217.]1045<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
