“The gods' most savage curses come upon us as answers to our own prayers. Prayer is a dangerous business.”

“When the Gods wish to punish us, they answer our prayers.”

“Prayer is the key that opens heaven; the favors we ask descend upon us the very instant our prayers ascend to God.”

“There is nothing that we are enduring that Jesus does not understand, and He waits for us to go to our Heavenly Father in prayer. If we will be obedient and if we are diligent, our prayers will be answered, our problems will diminish, our fears will dissipate, light will come upon us, the darkness of despair will be dispersed, and we will be close to the Lord.”

“Often the answer to our prayer does not come while we’re on our knees but while we’re on our feet serving the Lord and serving those around us. Selfless acts of service and consecration refine our spirits remove the scales from our spiritual eyes and open the windows of heaven. By becoming the answer to someone’s prayer we often find the answer to our own.”

“Not "Forgive us for our sins" but "Smite us for our iniquities" should be the prayer of man to a most just God.”
