Paul Miller on Prayer

Miller asserts that ?Jesus was the most dependent human being who ever lived.? Why? Because his entire sense of self is not self-reliant, self-centered. Rather, Jesus is because the Father and the Spirit are.

Unlike us, ?Jesus has no separate sense of self, he has no identity crisis, no angst. Consequently, he doesn?t try to ?find himself?. He knows himself only in relationship with his Father. He can?t conceive of himself outside of that relationship.
