Prayer Is Not A Way

Religion Fails If It Cannot Speak To Men As They Are.

We Are Chosen For Joy. However Hard The Christian Way, It Is Both In The Traveling And In The Goal, The Way Of Joy.

One Of The Highest Of Human Duties Is The Duty Of Encouragement...it Is Easy To Laugh At Men's Ideals; It Is Easy To Pour Cold Water On Their Enthusiasm; It Is Easy To Discourage Others. The World Is Full Of Discouragers. We Have A Christian Duty To Encourage One Another. Many A Time A Word Of Praise Or Thanks Or Appreciation Or Cheer Has Kept A Man On His Feet. Blessed Is The Man Who Speaks Such A Word.

We Are Trying Not So Much To Make God Listen To Us As To Make Ourselves Listen To Him; We Are Trying Not To Persuade God To Do What We Want, But To Find Out What He Wants Us To Do. It So Often Happens That In Prayer We Are Really Saying, 'thy Will Be Changed,' When We Ought To Be Saying, 'thy Will Be Done.' The First Object Of Prayer Is Not So Much To Speak To God As To Listen To Him.

Jesus Is The Yes To Every Promise Of God.
