Joyful conformity

Prayer is not so much the means whereby God's will is
bent to our human desires, as it is that whereby our
will is bent to God's desires... The real end of prayer
is not so much to get this or that single desire granted,
as to put human life into full and joyful conformity with
the will of God.
- Charles H. Brent (1862-1929), "With God in the World"
