'What if the main object in God's idea of prayer be the supplying of our great, our endless need - the need of himslef? What if the good of all our smaller and lower needs lies in this, that they help drive us to God?
Communion with God is the one need of the soul beyond all other needs; prayer is the beginning of that communion.'
George Macdonald in Kent & Barbara Hughes, Liberating Ministry from the Success Syndrome, p.72.
