Prayer Allows Us To Wait Without Worry.

I Hate How Hard Spiritual Transformation Is And How Long It Takes. I Hate Thinking About How Many People Have Gone To Church For Decades And Remain Joyless Or Judgmental Or Bitter Or Superior.

Going In Faith Does Not Necessarily Mean Going With Serenity Or Without Doubts. Faith Can Be Difficult.

Spiritual Transformation Is Not A Matter Of Trying Harder, But Of Training Wisely.

Scratch The Surface Of Any Cynic, And You Will Find A Wounded Idealist Underneath.

This Means That Beyond Just Seeing What Is Wrong With The World, Cynics Lack The Courage To Do Something About It. The Dynamic Beneath Cynicism Is A Fear Of Accepting Responsibility.
