How often we expect big things from God without preparing for big things from him

I have picked up on the terminology of Brother Lawrence, who called praying unceasingly practicing God's presence. In fact, practicing God's presence has been my number one goal for the last year

God made our souls to long for Him, and we are not fully satisfied without His presence in our lives.

If we are leading but not closely following Christ, we are misleading.

It is not about never doubting, it is about coming out on the other side with twice the faith you had going into your doubt.

We must be careful to avoid spiritual elitism. Everything we are and anything we possess as believers in Christ is a gift of grace. Pure hearts before God must be cleansed from any hint of spiritual pride.

God is the Deliverer, but we never know how He might deliver us.
