The man whose prayer is so pure that he never asks God for anything does not know who God is, and does not know who he is himself: for he does not know his own need of God. All true prayer somehow confesses our absolute dependence on the Lord of life and death. It is, therefore, a deep and vital contact with Him whom we know not only as Lord but as Father. It is when we pray truly that we really are. Our being is brought to a high perfection by this.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The far-off interest of tears. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51715]]></link><description><![CDATA[The far-off interest of tears.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An unexciting truth may be eclipsed by a thrilling lie. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63727]]></link><description><![CDATA[An unexciting truth may be eclipsed by a thrilling lie.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63727</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We didn't have any hope, either. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32078]]></link><description><![CDATA[We didn't have any hope, either.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32078</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've never made choices based on money - I always trust my gut. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65038]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've never made choices based on money - I always trust my gut.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65038</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The human contribution is the essential ingredient. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34756]]></link><description><![CDATA[The human contribution is the essential ingredient.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Continuing a short series on the Bible:   Scripture nowhere condemns the acquisition of knowledge.
