More on A. W. Pink and Work

I just picked up Arthur W. Pink's Sovereignty of God and
found a Work phrase. In talking about prayer one
thing he says is the act of it makes you to have to
"realize your own nothingness." You can kind of see
when a writer has had contact with Work language to
some extent. C. S. Lewis is the same.

On prayer in that section of the book (chapter 9, and
that phrase occurs on page 170 of the Baker edition)
Pink writes what I've been writing about prayer (which
again shows me we are thinking along the same line and
perhaps because of a similar background), that prayer
at a practical level just makes us have to recognize
something that is higher than us and that because of
that it mortifies the vanity, worldly pride, and
self-will within us and cultivates the New Man within
us.
