"Our desire for God did not originate with us. We did not initiate the possibility of this relationship. The Trinity made it possible and kindled the desire within us....It is God who invites us to join in the the Trinitarian conversation already occurring. The triune God invites us to share in intimacy with God and summons us to enter the communion of self-giving love...
Prayer is joining an already-occurring conversation. The Spirit calls us to participate in the relationship of intimacy between Father and Son and to be caught up in the dance already begun. In prayer on the earth, we join the dance and begin to experience the movement and interplay of the Trinitarian Persons." --Clark H. Pinnock, Flame of Love
"So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" (Romans 10:17).
"This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us--whatever we ask--we know that we have what we asked of him" (1 John 5: 14, 15).
