To me, growing into spiritual maturity is becoming less self-conscious and more God-conscious.
Mark BattersonEach prayer is like a seed that gets planted in the ground. It disappears for a season, but it eventually bears fruit that blesses future generations. In fact, our prayers bear fruit forever.
Mark BattersonIf you wait for perfect conditions to seize an opportunity, you'll be waiting till the day you die.
Mark BattersonYou don't have to do everything right as a parent, but there is one thing you cannot afford to get wrong. That one thing is prayer. You'll never be a perfect parent, but you can be a praying parent. Prayer is your highest privilege as a parent. There is nothing you can do that will have a higher return on investment. In fact, the dividends are eternal.
