“It’s a good thing to have all the props pulled out from under us occasionally. It gives us some sense of what rock is under our feet, and what is sand. It stops us from taking anything for granted.” -Madeleine L’Engle
“Prayer is not appointed for the furnishing of God with the knowledge of what we need, but it is designed as a confession to Him of our sense of need. In this, as in everything, God’s thoughts are not as ours. God requires that His gifts should be sought for. He designs to be honored by our asking just as He is to be thanked by us after He has bestowed His blessing.” ~Arthur W. Pink
“I have benefited by my praying for others; for by making an errand to God for them, I have gotten something for myself.” ~Samuel Rutherford
“As well could you expect a plant to grow without air and water as to expect your heart to grow without prayer and faith.” – Anonymous
