Quotes from Richard C. Eyer

Prayer is not a tool of faith by which we control His control over our lives. Rather, it is the conversation God began with us when He established a relationship with us in Baptism.

To pray rightly 'Thy will be done' is to trust that God's intentions toward us are good and gracious. To pray for the will of God might be to ask ultimately for the opposite fo what we want and to trust that the unknown quantity of His intention is tempered by love for us.
