Henri J.M. Nouwen quote #469 from The Way of the Heart: Desert Spirituality and Contemporary Ministry

When we say to people I will pray for you we make a very important commitment. The sad thing is that this remark often remains nothing but a well-meant expression of concern. But when we learn to descend with our mind into our heart then all those who have become part of our lives are led into the healing presence of God and touched by him in the center of our being. We are speaking here about a mystery for which words are inadequate. It is the mystery that the heart which is the center of our being is transformed by God into his own heart a heart large enough to embrace the entire universe. Through prayer we can carry in our heart all human pain and sorrow all conflicts and agonies all torture and war all hunger loneliness and misery not because of some great psychological or emotional capacity but because Gods heart has become one with ours.

Shannon L. Alder famous quote #423

People will tell you that youre broken. Dont believe them. They were not the person that could help you. They have not walked your path. God has got a plan to bring people into your life that have lived through a similar hell. In the end it isnt the number of people that are on your side. It is the people that understand what your side is that matters.
