"God often waits to give a blessing until you have prayed for it. Why? Good things that we do not ask for will usually be interpreted by our hearts as the fruit of our own wisdom and diligence. Gifts from God that are not acknowledged a such are deadly to the south, because they thicken the illusion of self-sufficiency that leads to overconfidence and sets us up for failure."
[Timothy Keller, Prayer, p. 102]

Are you reading this book! I just picked it up -- my brother-in-law gave it to me for Christmas.
