God sits enthroned, ready to listen, to help.

The wonder of prayer is rediscovered in who we're speaking to. Prayer is a mystical event by which we get to talk to the Creator of all-the One who fashioned our world with a few words-knowing that God not only listens but answers.

Joy emanates out of the abiding sense of God’s fierce love for us.

You must learn to hush the demons that whisper, 'No one wants to read this. This has already been said. Your voice doesn't matter.' In the rare moments when the voices finally hush, you might hear the angels singing.

God is constantly on the move. I cannot stay where I am and follow God at the same time; responding requires movement.

How often have I rattled on with God and said nothing at all? Relying on clichés, throwaway phrases, and high language I'd never use in everyday conversation, I took prayer for granted and lost sight of the wondrous opportunity to draw close to God.

When we fight back with joy, we awaken to the deepest reality of our identity as beloved, delightful children of God.
