Leaders in touch with heaven can move earth

One foggy night I was walking the dogs down the lane and heard the geese very close overhead calling calling their marvellous strange cry as they flew by. I think that is what our own best prayer must sound like when we send it up to heaven.

Even when she was speaking her soul was in prayer reposing on an unseen support.

Grant unto us Lord that we may set our hope on Thy nameand open the eyes of our hearts that wemay know Thee.We beseech Thee Lord and Master to be our help and succour. Save those among us who are intribulation have mercy on the lowly lift up the fallen show Thyself to those in need heal the sick turnagain the wanderers of Thy people feed the hungry ransom our prisoners raise up the weak comfortthe faint-hearted. Let all nations know that Thou art God alone and that Jesus Christ is Thy Son andthat we are Thy people and the sheep of Thy pasture.We praise Thee who art able to do these and better things than these through Jesus Christ the HighPriest and Guardian of our souls through whom be glory and majesty to Thee both now andthroughout all generations for ever and ever. Amen.

Upon the lips of babes asleep I saw light embracing light and so allowed my syllables to rest there as a prayer they might sing in their dreams...

Gods forgot that ever I lived... Hes forgot...and He never cared nohow....He smoothed her brown rough-palmed hand he held her hands to keep her from jerking herself away from his admonishing Oh tis not true the words yere a-sayin Cean Smith and well ye know it. Never does He forget a child o Hisn. Tis His children that forget that He is rememberin. Get on yere knees and climb on them up to the shelter o His arms. Knock on His ears with yere prayers. Creep into His arms Cean Smith and lay yere head on His bosom and Hell hold ye closer than inny man ye ever love can ever hold ye. Hell lay His hand on yere head and yell stop yere restless fightin against His will. Hell shut yere pitiful little mouth from complainin against Him. Yell hush and be comforted....She dared him to prove his saying Then pray fer Him to do them things fer meHe prayed and when he had finished Ceans will was as water to Gods will and Ceans tears were softening and healing to her heart.

Father in those moments of utter exasperation help me to want You as much as I need You

God withholds blessing only in wisdom never in spite or aloofness.

Prayer faith and vision plus real effort too.Blend them together for one potent brewThe magical spell to your dreams coming true.

The only trouble is that in the spiritual life there are no tricks and no shortcuts. Those who imagine that they can discover spiritual gimmicks and put them to work for themselves usually ignore Gods will and his grace.
