Faith like Job's cannot be shaken becasue it is the result of having been shaken.

In prayer we shift the center of living from self-consciousness to self-surrender

A soul can create only when alone.

Prayer cannot bring water to parched fields, or mend a broken bridge, or rebuild a ruined city; but prayer can water an arid soul, mend a broken heart, and rebuild a weakened will.

Everything is phenomenal; everything is incredible; never treat life casually. To be spiritual is to be amazed.

One of the major symptoms of the general crisis existent in our world today is our lack of sensitivity to words. We use words as tools. We forget that words are a repository of the spirit. The tragedy of our times is that the vessels of the spirit are broken. We cannot approach the spirit unless we repair the vessels. Reverence for words - an awareness of the wonder of words, of the mystery of words - is an essential prerequisite for prayer. By the word of God the world was created.

Then comes the insight that All is God. One still realizes that the world is as it was, but it does not matter, it does not affect one's faith.
