Prayer is surrender--surr ender to the will of God and cooperation with that will. If I throw out a boathook from the boat and catch hold of the shore and pull, do I pull the shore to me, or do I pull myself to the shore? Prayer is not pulling God to my will, but the aligning of my will to the will of God.

Being born in a Christian home does not make you a Christian.

Whatever we focus on determines what we become.

We find, sooner or later, that in prayer we either abandon ourselves or we abandon prayer.

Whatever our creed, we stand with admiration before the sublime character of Jesus.

When we can sing in the face of death, we can sing in the face of anything.
