1 Chronicles 7:25
Whom have I in heaven but you, there is nothing on earth I desire besides you
My heart and my flesh, many times they fail. But there is one truth that always will prevail..
Matthew 6:8
- God does not need you to pray, he wants you to pray
I pray because I can't help myself, I pray because I'm helpless. I pray because the need flows out of me all the time, waking and sleeping. It doesn't change God, it changes me.
- CS Lewis -
If prayer seems to you a diversion from productivity, remember God does more in 5 seconds than we can in 5 hours!
- John Piper -
