It came at last.Dr. Graham tell me she asked tremulously do you believe that prayers - wicked unreasonable prayers - are grantedHe helped himself to another slice of bread-and-butter before answering. Well- he said slowly it seems hard to believe that every fool who has a voice to pray with and a brain to conceive idiotic requests should be permitted to interfere with the economy of the universe. As a rule if people were long-sighted enough to foresee the result of their petitions I fancy very few of us would venture to interfere. The Story of A Ghost

I had a dream about you making balloon animals for kids. You were out of balloons and the kids were out of patience so you inflated their imaginations instead.

I will not say as the beggars at our door used to do Ill never ask anything of Him again but on the contrary He shall hear oftener from me than ever and I will love God the better and love prayer the better as long as I live.

Prayer not only teaches and strengthens one for work work teaches and strengthens one for prayer.

I had a dream about you coming up with non sequiturs. You were a purple giraffe and I was an orange rhino. But we were eating liquid skittles.

The dreams that were buried the deepest were the hardest to get rid of.

Be humble and set the balls of your dreams rolling till God himself decides what next As for pride allow it to go as a lone ranger

O infinite goodness of my God It is thus that I seem to see both myself and Thee. O Joy of the angels how I long when I think of this to be wholly consumed in love for Thee How true it is that Thou dost bear with those who cannot bear Thee to be with them Oh how good a Friend art Thou my Lord How Thou dost comfort us and suffer us and wait until our nature becomes more like Thine and meanwhile dost bear with it as it is Thou dost remember the times when we love Thee my Lord and when for a moment we repent Thou dost forget how we offended Thee. I have seen this clearly in my own life and I cannot conceive my Creator why the whole world does not strive to draw near to Thee in this intimate friendship. Those of us who are wicked and whose nature is not like Thine ought to draw near to Thee so that Thou mayest make them good. They should allow Thee to be with them for at least two hours each day even though they may not be with Thee but are perplexed as I was with a thousand worldly cares and thoughts. In exchange for the effort which it costs them to desire to be in such good company for Thou knowest Lord that at first this is as much as they can do and sometimes they can do no more at all Thou dost prevent the devils from assaulting them so that each day they are able to do them less harm and Thou givest them strength to conquer. Yea Life of all lives Thou slayest none of those that put their trust in Thee and desire Thee for their Friend rather dost Thou sustain their bodily life with greater health and give strength to their souls.

It was only at her prayers that she felt able to think calmly and clearly either of Prince Andrey or Anatole with a sense that her feelings for them were as nothing compared with her feel of worship and awe of God.

I had a dream about you. The leaves changed from yellow to red but the stoplights did not. This made me continually cautious and you kept honking at me. I thought you were the rudest goose ever so I ran you over. Then the light turned red.
