We never understand what we're praying, and God, in His mercy, does not answer our prayers according to our understanding, but according to His wisdom.

Prayer is a grace through which we pour ourselves out before God and through which He calls us into His presence.

We were given the Scriptures to humble us into realizing that God is right, and the rest of us are just guessing.

Save me from trendy religion that makes cheap clichés out of timeless truths.

There's people been friendly But they'd never be your friends Sometimes this has bent me to the ground

Be praised for all Your tenderness by these works of Your hands, suns that rise and rains that fall to bless and bring to life Your land. Look down upon this winter wheat and be glad that You have made blue for the sky and the color green that fills Your fields with praise.

I am a Christian, not because someone explained the nuts and bolts of Christianity, but because there were people willing to be nuts and bolts.
