1 " There is a season for everything under the sun—even when we can’t see the sun. "
― Jared Brock , A Year of Living Prayerfully: How a Curious Traveler Met the Pope, Walked on Coals, Danced with Rabbis, and Revived His Prayer Life
2 " Inner stillness is the key to outer strength. "
3 " Strength is gathered on the journey, not granted at the outset. "
4 " What good is faith if it causes pain for another? What good is religion if it does no good? What good is any belief that leads to hate? "
5 " Shalom is the medicine I’d prescribe for Jerusalem—a deep, God-breathed indwelling of peace and prosperity and blessing. An end to the unrest and a sense of wholeness is what the Holy City needs. It’s what the Middle East needs. It’s what I need. "
6 " Prayer is meant to happen everywhere. After all, Daniel prayed in the lion’s den. Jonah prayed in a fish’s stomach. Elijah prayed in the desert. And Jesus prayed on the cross. "
7 " Somewhere, somehow, at some unknown intersection between prayer and work, God indwells our humble offering—God indwells us—and turns human actions into spiritual awakenings. "
8 " Prayer is the main dish. Everything else is gravy. "
9 " You have to be near Him to hear Him. "
10 " It’s easier to be close to God during prayer time when you’re close to God all the time. "
11 " There comes a point where you need to lose your religion in order to restore your relationship. "
12 " See every distraction as a clarion call back to prayer. "
13 " Prayer is about steeping in the Spirit of a God so loving that He totally changes you. "
14 " Prayer changes us because that’s what relationships do. "
15 " Changed people change nations. "
16 " Nowadays when we bow our heads before meals, we no longer say grace—we receive it. "
17 " Prayer is simply a constant communion with Christ. "
18 " There’s nothing like breaking the law to hear from the Lord. "
19 " Work is easy when it’s full of meaning and shared with others. "
20 " Man’s desire is to know the mind of God. "
