Im selfish impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you cant handle me at my worst then you sure as hell dont deserve me at my best.

Start your day with and in prayer. Communicate with the Lord and listen for instructions. Hooking up plugging into and connecting to the POWER SOURCE each day will keep power outages and disconnections away

Strange is it not how even those of us who scoff at divine intervention will fall to our knees and clasp our hands the moment we realize our futures are defined by uncertainty and hazard. A thoughtful man would never leave his knees. A wise man would never drop to them. In any case it wasnt really a prayer but one does like to follow convention now and then.

It is possible to induce incorrect notions of cause and effect in most people in just a few minutes. All that is necessary is to expose them to rewards which they believe they are generating based on their actions when in fact the rewards are randomly awarded. People will latch onto any seeming success and repeat it even when they have to explain repeated failures as well. It appears practically impossible or at least very rare for humans not to be influenced by immediate experiences of concrete results. This is true even if the experiences turn out to have limited theoretical validity. The moment of surprise is not when people repeat alchemical failures but when they begin to do something else.

He splashed into the water his whole body not with the reverent attitude of prayer but with a desperate thirst he buried his head under the water and drank deep with his cheek against the cold stone of the riverbed the water tumbling over his back his calves. He drank and drank lifted his head and shoulders above the water to gasp in the evening air and then collapsed into the water again to drink as greedily as before.It was a kind of prayer though he realized as he emerged freezing cold as the water evaporated from his skin in the breeze of the dark morning.I am with you he said to the Oversoul. Ill do whatever you ask because I long for you to accomplish your purpose here.

Again Pray without ceasing 1 Thess. 517 and here the word to pray does not mean to beg or to plead as if God were unwilling to give--but simply to expose by faith every situation as it arises to the all-sufficiency of the One who indwells you by His life.

God is the only one who listens to her... she is the prototype of the devout woman who perseveres in prayer convinced that it will be heard... How many favours each of us could tell of if we recalled with gratitude the gifts we have received in order to praise God for them

Even then his thoughts did not turn to prayer but to Abbie and to what she would think about his lack of prayerfulness and that surely she would have immediately broken out in prayer. Doesnt matter now he whispered and felt that he could not cry out to God.William Drexler the Third

Regarding Jabezs Prayer I will say at once that I am a very poor Christian and indeed a bad man. My besetting sins are many and the least of them are the fleshlier ones the really deadly ones are pride and intellectual arrogance. But I can honestly say I have never sunk to confusing prayer the souls colloquy with the Creator mortal mans dialogue with the Deity with magical incantation and the ritual of the spell.

If there is one thought with regard to the Church of Christ which at times comes to me with overwhelming sorrow if there is one thought in regard to my own life of which I am ashamed if there is one thought of which I feel that the Church of Christ has not accepted it and not grasped it if there is one thought which makes me pray to God Oh teach us by Thy grace new thingsit is the wonderful power that prayer is meant to have in the kingdom. . . . And that is the law of the kingdomthe King upon the throne the servants upon the footstool.
