God loves us too much to pretend our sin isn't there. Sin is a cancer and Christ the surgeon. True prayer signs the consent form.
If you want to love God better, hate sin more.
If I were as good at praying as I am at not praying I'd be really holy.
If your sin feels "too big," your vision of God is too small.
The Church needs more people willing to wash feet, not just point out they're dirty or complain that they smell.
When it's hardest to pray are usually the times I need to pray the hardest. Not sure if that's irony or common sense.
