It is the purest exercise of the faculties God has given us -- an exercise that links these faculties with the Maker to work out the intentions He had in mind in their creation. Prayer is aligning ourselves with the purposes 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. Prayer means that the total you is praying. Your whole being reaches out to God, and God reaches down to you...  Prayer is communion. Prayer is a means, but often it is an end in itself. There are times when your own wants and the needs of others drop away and you want just to look on His face and tell Him how much you love Him...  Prayer is commission. Out of the quietness with God, power is generated that turns the spiritual machinery of the world. When you pray, you begin to feel the sense of being sent, that the divine compulsion is upon you...]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8079</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you'd know the value of money, go and borrow some. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43002]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you'd know the value of money, go and borrow some.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43002</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're sheep.

The question was whether they could be admitted without accepting the teaching and undergoing the rite. It was that question which was settled by the acknowledgement that they had received the Holy Spirit... The difficulty today is that Christians acknowledge that others have the Spirit, and yet do not recognize that they ought to be, and must be -- because spiritually they are -- in communion with one another. Men who hold a theory of the Church which excludes from communion those whom they admit to have the Spirit of Christ simply proclaim that their theory is in flat contradiction to the spiritual fact.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7636</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/760]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/760</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Self-trust is the essence of heroism. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19227]]></link><description><![CDATA[Self-trust is the essence of heroism.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19227</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Odin, thou whirlwind, what a threat is this Thou threatenest what transcends thy might, even thine,  For of all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47932]]></link><description><![CDATA[Odin, thou whirlwind, what a threat is this Thou threatenest what transcends thy might, even thine,  For of all powers the mightiest far art thou,   Lord over men on earth, and Gods in Heaven;    Yet even from thee thyself hath been withheld     One thing--to undo what thou thyself hast ruled.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47932</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But oars alone can ne'er prevail To reach the distant coast;  The breath of Heaven must swell the sail, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4398]]></link><description><![CDATA[But oars alone can ne'er prevail To reach the distant coast;  The breath of Heaven must swell the sail,   Or all the toil is lost.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4398</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The truth is you don't know what is going to happen tomorrow.

One very effective way of silencing the voice of conscience is to impound in an Ism the teacher through whom it speaks; the trumpet no longer seriously disturbs our rest when we have murmured '..Thomist', 'Barthian', or 'Existentialist'. And in Macdonald it is, always the voice of conscience that speaks. He addresses the will: the demand for obedience, for "something to be neither more nor less nor other than done" is incessant. Yet in that very voice of conscience every other faculty somehow speaks as well -- intellect and imagination and humour and fancy and all the affections; and no man in modern times was perhaps more aware of the distinction between Law and Gospel, the inevitable failure of mere morality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The possibilities are unlimited as long as you are true to your life's purpose. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47796]]></link><description><![CDATA[The possibilities are unlimited as long as you are true to your life's purpose.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47796</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every sin is the result of collaboration. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56401]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every sin is the result of collaboration.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56401</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even opinion is of force enough to make itself to be espoused at the expense of life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44950]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even opinion is of force enough to make itself to be espoused at the expense of life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44950</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I just went to roll around with him for a little bit.
