Convergence

If prayer stands as the place where God and human beings meet,
    then I must learn about prayer.
Most of my struggles in the Christian life
    circle around the same two themes:
        why God doesn't act the way we want God to,
            and why I don't act the way God wants me to.
Prayer is the precise point where those themes converge.
