During the US civil war, a group of pastors met President Abraham Lincoln and while at breakfast stated, "Mr President, at this time of the civil war, we pray that God is on our side." To which Abe replied, "No gentlemen. Let us pray that we are on God's side!"
True indeed, a great reminder for each of us to seek God's will rather than expect God to support our desires and fantasies. That religion is more about being open to God than using God as a means to do what we want.
