You will find out that in the measure you have allowed yourself to look back you have missed that which God has for you.

The lazy man does not, will not, cannot pray, for prayer demands energy.

We can do nothing without prayer. All things can be done by importunate prayer. That is the teaching of Jesus Christ

Hope looks toward the future. Trust looks to the present. Hope expects. Trust possesses...what prayer needs, at all times, is abiding and abundant trust.
