“Prayer is not overcoming God's reluctance. It is laying hold of His willingness.”

“Every child of God is not called by the Lord to establish schools and orphan houses and to trust in the Lord for means for them. Yet, there is no reason why you may not experience, far more abundantly than we do now, His willingness to answer the prayers of His children.”

“He precisely lays it to his and his colleagues credit that they have finally overcome freedom, and have done so in order to make people happy.”

“Something has got to hold it together. I'm saying my prayers to Elmer, the Greek god of glue.”

“Prayer is not asking. Prayer is putting oneself in the hands of God, at His disposition, and listening to His voice in the depth of our hearts.”

“and here I felt a strange leaping of my heart-God did! My job was to simply follow His leading one step at a time, holding every decision up to him in prayer.”
