A Devotion by Jack Manor
by Jack Manor
Thought: Great character and actions are possible when our sincere, humble prayers have aligned our will with God's will.
Verse: "You do not have, because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures" (James 4:2-3).
Quote: "Prayer is surrender-- surrender to the will of God and cooperation with that will. If I throw out a boat hook from the 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
