Prayer is aligning ourselves with the purposes of God.

Summary

This quote highlights the notion that prayer is a means of attuning our intentions and desires with the higher purposes or plans of God. It implies that prayer is not solely about making requests or seeking personal fulfillment but rather about seeking alignment with God's will and intentions. By having this alignment, individuals can develop a deeper connection with the divine and find a greater sense of purpose and fulfillment in their own lives. Prayer, in this context, becomes a way to surrender and open oneself to the overarching intentions of God.

In peace there's nothing so becomes a manAs modest stillness and humility;But when the blast of war blows in our ears,Then imitate the action of the tiger:Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;Now set the teeth, and stretch the nostril wide,Hold hard the breath, and bend up every spiritTo his full height!

Who is left in the ghetto is the one man in a thousand in any age, in any culture, who through some mysterious workings of force within his soul will stand in defiance against any master. He is that one human in a thousand whose indomitable spirit will not bow. He is the one man in a thousand whose indomitable spirit cannot bow. He is the one man in a thousand who will not walk quietly to Umschlagplatz. Watch out for him, Alfred Funk, we have pushed him to the wall.
