John Piper, Desiring God: "...prayer is the pursuit of God's glory...[and] of our joy" (160).
In prayer "We ask God to do for us through Christ what we can't do for ourselves--bear fruit....Prayer is the open admission that without Christ we can do nothing. And prayer is the turning away from ourselves to God in the confidence that He will provide the help we need. Prayer humbles us as needy and exalts God as wealthy" (161).
