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.

Continuing a Lenten series on prayer: Prayer is co-operation with God. 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.

Certain things you have to stumble on to. They can't be preprogrammed.

I have siblings. And there are certain things I know that I can push their buttons. And they know they have certain things where they can push mine.
