![[God desires] not that He may say to them, "Look how mighty I am, and go down upon your knees and worship," for power alone was never yet worthy of prayer; but that He may say thus: "Look, my children, you will never be strong but with my strength. I have no other to give you. And that you can get only by trusting in me. I can not give it you any other way. There is no other way."](/assets/img/quote-photos/god-desires-not-that-he-may-say-to-them-look-how-mighty-i-am-and-go-down-upo.jpg)
