And it would be nice to accept your view that this just shows we are made to live by charity. I'm afraid, however, I detect two much less attractive reasons for the ease of my own intercessory prayers. One is that I am often, I believe, praying for others when I should be doing things for them. It's so much easier to pray for a bore than to go and see him. And the other is like unto it. Suppose I pray that you may be given grace to withstand your besetting sin (short list of candidates for this post will be forwarded on demand). Well, all the work has to be done by God and you. If I pray against my own besetting sin there will be work for me. One sometimes fights shy of admitting an act to be a sin for this very reason.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8536</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Common sense and nature will do a lot to make the pilgrimage of life not too difficult. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9032]]></link><description><![CDATA[Common sense and nature will do a lot to make the pilgrimage of life not too difficult.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9032</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am from Massachusetts, The land of the sacred cod,  There the Adamses snub the Abootts   And ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59382]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am from Massachusetts, The land of the sacred cod,  There the Adamses snub the Abootts   And the Cabots walk with God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59382</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Calmness is the cradle of power. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66330]]></link><description><![CDATA[Calmness is the cradle of power.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66330</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think he did a super job.

For your coach to do something like that to make our senior day special, I am just really thankful that she would go out on a limb to do something like that.

The foreground of prayer is the intense, immediate desire for a certain blessing which seems to be absolutely necessary for the soul to have; the background of prayer is the quiet, earnest desire that the will of God, whatever it may be, should be done. What a picture is the perfect prayer of Jesus in Gethsemane! In front burns the strong desire to escape death and to live; but behind there stands, calm and strong, the craving of the whole life for the doing of the will of God... Leave out the foreground, let there be no expression of the will of him who prays, and there is left a pure submission which is almost fatalism. Leave out the background, let there be no acceptance of the will of God, and the prayer is only an expression of self-will, a petulant claiming of the uncorrected choice of him who prays. Only when the two are there together, the special desire resting on the universal submission, the universal submission opening into the special desire, is the picture perfect and the prayer complete.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7491</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I stood Among them, but not of them: in a shroud  Of thoughts which were not their thoughts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59201]]></link><description><![CDATA[I stood Among them, but not of them: in a shroud  Of thoughts which were not their thoughts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59201</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Today as we celebrate the birth, the life, the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King, it is a time for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42331]]></link><description><![CDATA[Today as we celebrate the birth, the life, the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King, it is a time for our nation to remember the injustices that Dr. King fought (against).
