What a human being knows by himself about love is very superficial; he must come to know the deeper love from God-that is, in self-denial he must become what every human being can become (since self-denial is related to the universally human and thus is distinguished from the particular call and election), an instrument for God.
"Je n’adore que Dieu" [I adore only God]. "The artist pours out his creative spirit into a work; the philosopher measures his knowing spirit by the real." "I do not know if Saul Alinsky knows God.

The verse presents prayer as certain to be answered, and the following verses explain why this is. This of course cannot mean that every demand made of God will be met in full.
