“Prayer is a surprising strategy for changing the world. Prayer feels weak. We feel awkward trying. So we neglect prayer.
But our prayers to God are not weak. They are powerful, because God is powerful. And if we feel inept at prayer, that's okay. Here's why: "God fixes our prayers on the way up. If he does not answer the prayer we made, he will answer the prayer we should have made.
That is all anyone needs to know."
