"La prière suppose la souveraineté de Dieu. Si Dieu n'est pas souverain, nous n'avons aucune assurance qu'il est capable d'exaucer nos prières. Nos prières ne seraient rien de plus que des souhaits. Mais si la souveraineté de Dieu, ainsi que sa sagesse et son amour, constituent le fondement de notre confiance en Lui, la prière est l'expression de cette confiance."
Jerry Bridges, Is God Really In Control? Trusting God in a World of Hurt, 2006, p. 69-70.
“Prayer assumes the sovereignty of God. If God is not sovereign, we have no assurance that He is able to answer our prayers. Our prayers would become nothing more than wishes. But while God’s sovereignty, along with his wisdom and love, is the foundation of our trust in Him, prayer is the expression of that trust.”
