Now, see what prayer does? Prayer is not exactly bringing God down to man. It’s bringing man up to God. See? As you pray, you lose—you lose sight of these earthly things. You sway out into somewhere else, way beyond, and on and on and on, till you be come into His Presence. And then a—a faith that you have laid it out before God, said, “Now here, God, here it is. And I—I want to get well for, this cause.” Or, “I want You to do this for me, for this cause. I want You to heal me from—from—from this cancer, or this TB or—or this anemia condition,” or whatever it is. “I will walk before You, I will—I will do everything I can. I will give this testimony everywhere I go. I will be happy to do that, Lord. And I will use my life, not for myself. I will—I will use it for Your glory, to help others to see You.”
