Prayer is making space available for God to do beautiful things with your life.

Give me the grace to believe that you really do know what is best for me and that I do not. May I cling to Your character and rejoice in Your pursuit of me.

If He strips us of all our own resources we just might learn to lean on Him. And to start praying again.

But we need to pray daily for humility and honesty to see these sinful attitudes for that they really are and then for grace and discipline to root them out of our minds and replace them with thoughts pleasing to God.

Men in prayer give greater license to their unlawful desires than if they were telling jocular tales among their equals.

My intellect is so limited Lord that I can only trust in You to preserve me as I should be.

I am a child of the everlasting King.I am forgiven.I am a warrior.I am cloaked in righteous armor.I was made for adventure.I was built for battle.I am part of a larger story.My true and lasting affirmation comes only from my King.I am unique above all creation--planned and perfect in design.I have been created for a glorious destiny.All my ways are established by you my King and I walk in them.My life and actions are real authentic and without compromise.I am quickened and made alive through the power of your Spirit.My whole life is before me.I am a shining gift from God to this lost world.I know my name I understand my calling and I am worthy to walk in it.I am strong brave and courageous in the face of my enemies.Whatever is good whatever is pure whatever is true dwell on these things.My sins are scattered as far as the east is from the west.I am a good husband to my wife.I am a good father to my daughters.The past is over and the future glimmers with radiant light.I will look to the new day the dawning of hope.I will step forward with the truth before me and will no longer look on the day that is gone.The past is over the future has begun.

One of the greatest gifts to give our friends and others is a prayer.

I do believe in the power of prayer. I do. And I believe in the power of human kindness.
