William Barclay Quotes

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.
