Prayer is surrender--surr ender to the will of God and cooperation with that will.

Prayer is not pulling God to my will, but the aligning of my will to the will of God.

Prayer is commitment. We don't merely co-operate with God with certain things held back within. We, the total person, co-operate. This means that co-operation equals committment.
