“We are not so intimately acquainted with God as Jesus was, and as He wants us to be—‘that they may be one even as we are one’. Think of the last thing you prayed about—were you devoted to your desire or to God? Determined to get some gift of the Spirit or to get at God? ‘Your Heavenly Father knoweth what things ye have need of before ye ask Him’. The point of asking is that you may get to know God better. ‘Delight thyself also in the Lord; and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart’ Keep praying in order to get a perfect understanding of God Himself.”
