The goal is not for us to get through the Scriptures. The goal is to get the Scriptures through us.
John OrtbergThe goal of prayer is to live all of my life and speak all of my words in the joyful awareness of the presence of God. Prayer becomes real when we grasp the reality and goodness of God's constant presence with 'the real me.' Jesus lived his everyday life in conscious awareness of his Father.
