Like art, like music, like so many other disciplines, prayer can only be appreciated when you actually spend time in it. Spending time with the Master will elevate your thinking. The more you pray, the more will be revealed. You will appreciate not only the greatness of prayer, but the greatness of God.

The greatest good suffering can do for me is to increase my capacity for God.

God wants us to be a good example to others who are observing us.

Suffering provides the gym equipment on which my faith can be exercised.

Faith means being sure of what we hope for now. It means knowing something is real, this moment, all around you, even when you don't see it.

I had to be healed of my desire to be healed.

God's purpose in increasing our trials is to sensitize us to people we never would have been able to relate to otherwise.
