Prayer is an august avowal of ignorance.
It is clear that he does not pray, who, far from uplifting himself to God, requires that God shall lower Himself to him, and who resorts to prayer not to stir the man in us to will what God wills, but only to persuade God to will what the man in us wills.
I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: “O Lord make my enemies ridiculous.” And God granted it.
