God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
We are trying not so much to make God listen to us as to make ourselves listen to Him; we are trying not to persuade God to do what we want, but to find out what he wants us to do. It so often happens that in prayer we are really saying, “Thy will be changed,” when we ought to be saying, “Thy will be done.” The first object of prayer is not so much to speak to God as to listen to Him.

INSTRUCTIONS
FILLING
SAUCE
OTHER, BUT NECESSARY
Preperation: Combine filling ingredients in a bowl; mix well. Set aside for
30 minutes. Combine sauce ingredients in a bowl and set aside. Peel
cucumbers if desired. Cut cucumbers crosswise into 1-inch thick sections;
remove center of each section. Spoon about 1 level tablespoon of filling
into each section. Lightly coat with cornstarch, shaking off excess. Set
aside. Cooking: Set wok in a ring stand and add oil to a depth of 1 1/2 to
2 inches. Place over high heat until oil reaches 360 to 375 degrees F. Add
cucumber sections, a few at a time, and deep fry for 2 minutes. Lift out
and drain on paper towels. Cook remaining cucumber. Place fried cucumber
sections in a wide frying pan with a nonstick finish. Pour in sauce and
bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes. Add
corn starch solution and cook, stirring, until sauce boils and thickens.
Arrange on a serving platter and serve hot. Serves 4 as a Main dish, but
also makes a nice hors d'oeuvre for more.
