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[One man excels in eloquence, another in arms. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51820]]></link><description><![CDATA[One man excels in eloquence, another in arms.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51820</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I plucked a honeysuckle where The hedge on high is quick with thorn,  And climbing for the prize, was ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19692]]></link><description><![CDATA[I plucked a honeysuckle where The hedge on high is quick with thorn,  And climbing for the prize, was torn,   And fouled my feet in quag-water;    And by the thorns and by the wind     The blossom that I took was thinn'd      And yet I found it sweet and fair.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Miss: A title with which we brand unmarried women to indicate that they are in the market.
