In response to But *why* do we pray? posted by BrianTubbs:


.
I like the story I heard from Dr. Schuler regarding the man in the boat who lost his oars. He would throw his anchor out in front and pull on the rope until the anchor was in his hands again. Then he would throw it out again and repeat the action until he could step out on land. His question was, did he pull the boat to shore or did he pull the shore to the boat. Schuler said, that's how prayer is--are you pulling God down to you or are you pulling yourself up to God?
