God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
In prayer, human impotence casts itself at the feet of divine omnipotence, thus the duty of prayer is not to modify God’s power but to glorify it. We’re not trying to change God's plan, we're just trying to get in line with it.
The more we rejoice in our testings, the more we realize that they are not liabilities but privileges, ultimately beneficial and not harmful, no matter how destructive and painful the immediate experience of them might appear
