Bounds on Prayer

Conformity means to “stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.”  It means to delight to do God’s will, to run with eagerness and ardor to carry out his plans.  Conformity to God’s will involves submission, patient, loving, sweet submission.  But submission itself falls short of and does not include conformity.  We may be submissive but not conformed.  We may accept results against we have warred, and even be resigned to them.  ~E. M. Bounds, The Reality of Prayer
