“God will not supply every want; but He will supply every need.

 The trouble is that we want what we do not need....

Prayer is not the breaking down of the reluctance of God;

 it is rather the opening of a door.

 ‘Behold I stand at the door and knock’. 

The latch is on our side and not His.

 Prayer opens that door.”

 Archbishop Fulton Sheen (Wartime Prayer Book)
