Don't Read To Remember; Read To Realize.

If God Sees That My Spiritual Life Will Be Furthered By Giving The Things For Which I Ask, Then He Will Give Them, But That Is Not The End Of Prayer. The End Of Prayer Is That I Come To Know God Himself.

We Think Of Prayer As A Preparation For Work, Or A Calm After Having Done Work, Whereas Prayer Is The Essential Work.

The Purpose Of Prayer Is To Reveal The Presence Of God Equally Present, All The Time, In Every Condition.

If There Were Never Any Clouds (sorrows And Sufferings) In Our Lives, We Would Have No Faith. God Does Not Come Near Us Without Clouds.

Spiritual Character Is Only Made By Standing Loyal To God's Character, No Matter What Distress The Trial Of Faith Brings. The Distress And Agony The Prophets Experienced Was The Agony Of Believing God When Everything That Was Happening Contradicted What They Proclaimed Him To Be; There Was Nothing To Prove That God Was Just And True, But Everything To Prove The Opposite.
