We tend to use prayer as a last resort, but God wants it to be our first line of defense. We pray when there's nothing else we can do, but God wants us to pray before we do anything at all. Most of us would prefer, however, to spend our time doing something that will get immediate results. We don't want to wait for God to resolve matters in His good time because His idea of 'good time' is seldom in sync with ours.

Don't plan without God. God seems to have a delightful way of upsetting the plans we have made, when we have not taken Him into account.

Too often we treat prayer as the preparation for the work of the church. Do you not see? Prayer IS the work of the church.

Worship is giving God the best that He has given you.

The purpose of prayer is to reveal the presence of God equally present, all the time, in every condition.

he must deny his right to himself, and he must realize who Jesus Christ is before he will bring himself to do it. Beware of refusing to go to the funeral of your own independence

The majority of us do not enthrone God, we enthrone common sense. We make our decisions and then ask the real God to bless our God's decision.
