Eugene Peterson – “Prayer discovers that God is indeed in action! He is not an inert gas, an amorphous mass of idea, an abstract virtue. He is not a remote explanation of the cosmos. He asserts his will in this world of human affairs – in government and creation, on the oceans and in the kitchens, in souls and in society. Many fear that if they abandon the gospel of self-assertion (don’t just stand there, do something!) life will collapse. In fact (if they pray) they experience something quite different”.
