The place where God has supremely destroyed all human arrogance and pretension is the cross.

Much praying is not done because we do not plan to pray. We do not drift into spiritual life; we do not drift into disciplined prayer. We will not grow in prayer unless we plan to pray. That means we must self-consciousl y set aside time to do nothing but pray.

The more we get to know God, the more we want to know him better.
