Socrates on Prayer

"Our prayers should be for blessings in general, for God knows best what is good for us." - Socrates

True enough, true enough - but does not Christ dwell in us and teach us to ask for the Kingdom to come, to ask for our daily bread, to ask for deliverance...?

The wisdom of the world always stops short of the wisdom of God, and fails to take the leading and guiding of the Holy Spirit within humanity seriously.  Ask for blessings in general, but also ask for those specific things God has directed his people to pray for as well.
