We need to learn how wrong it is to think of prayer as a way of getting something from God. People often think of prayer as a way of talking God into doing what they want Him to do. This is what lies behind 'name it and claim it' Christianity, the idea that I can influence God by offering the right kind of prayer. But that attitude ultimately leads to hell. As C. S. Lewis once observed, 'There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, ';Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, in the end, ';Thy will be done.' All that are in Hell, choose it.' Besides, why would anyone want to change God's mind? The Bible says that His will is 'good, pleasing and perfect' (Rom. 12:2). Imagine what a mess our lives would be in if God always did what we wanted Him to do! For unlike God's will, our own wills are evil, displeasing, and imperfect.

Place aubergines and peppers into the marinade, massage gently and
allow to marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Shake vegetables and marinade out of the bag into a medium sized
ovenproof dish. Sprinkle over basil, freshly ground black pepper,
garlic and olive oil.
Don't be concerned if the vegetables look too dry, as the dish bakes,
it draws its own juices from the peppers.
Finally sprinkle the olives over and cover the dish with damp
