Since prayer is acknowledged helplessness—spilling our guts—the more we pray, the more we are abiding in the strength of God alone. The more we pray, the more we are surrendering thoughts of our own glory and the more we are unbusying ourselves with the enterprise of our own glory. Every day we are building our own Babel Towers, and in prayer we lay down our bricks and trowels and let God knock those towers down.
