“We don't pray for rain. We wait for rain, and when it comes, we thank God for it.”
“Too many times we pray for ease, but that's a prayer seldom met. What we need to do is pray for roots that reach deep into the Eternal, so when the rains fall and the winds blow, we won't be swept asunder.”
“The rain comes down harder, darkness falls. We don't care. Together in our house, in the firelight, we are the world made small.”
“We like rain if the sun comes after it; we like night if the day comes after it; we like everything conditionally! We are conditional people!”
“We have to bloom where we are planted, enjoy the sunlight while we can, and thank the heavens for the rain that not only beats us down, but feeds us and makes us stronger.”
“Don’t pray when it rains if you don’t pray when the sun shines.”
