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.
