Preaching never edifies a prayerless soul.

God thank you for everything youve given us. For the time we have together. And for the miracle of Christmas. Thank you for the Atonement the chance to start all over again. Help us to always remember who we are and to trust that we are worthy to make it through our storms. Amen

Perfect prayer does not consist in many words silent remembering and pure intention raises the heart to that supreme Power.

Human lives are hard even those of health and privilege and dont make much sense. This is the message of the Book of Job Any snappy explanation of suffering you come up with will be horseshit.

Is anything truly impossible Or is it that the path to our goals appears too unclear to follow It seems to me that if you seek hard enough pray hard enough you usually stumble across a scattering of breadcrumbs that marks the trail leading to the goal you once considered beyond your reach.

Prayer is not overcoming Gods reluctance. It is laying hold of His willingness.

We should seek not so much to pray but to become prayer.

A Christian fellowship lives and exists by the intercession of its members for one another or it collapses. I can no longer condemn or hate a brother for whom I pray no matter how much trouble he causes me. His face that hitherto may have been strange and intolerable to me is transformed in intercession into the countenance of a brother for whom Christ died the face of a forgiven sinner.

I want to be a woman who lives totally abandoned to the first commandment to love my Lord my God with all my heart. I dont want the reputation that I love God I dont want to write songs about loving God I dont want to talk about loving God. I want to actually love God. When I close my eyes I want my heart to move. When I close my eyes and I look at Him I want to feel alive on the inside. I want to look at Him with a fire in my heart and its real.
