Right Thought, Right Will



"The greatest, deepest, truest thought of God is generated in prayer, where right thought has its essential condition in a right will."




"Prayer is not only a necessity of faith, it is faith itself in action.
It is not an act of knowledge but of faith."




"Prayer must be the application of faith to a concrete actual and urgent situation."
The reality of prayer is bound up with the reality and intimacy of life."


Quotes were taken from P.T Forsyth's The Soul Of Prayer

Life Hurts, We Know It....

New Year brings new hopes. But life hurts. We know it. I know it. Everyone around us knows it. The whole world has a lot of practice facing the trials of life. and it isn't fun, is it? There certainly isn't any joy to be found in our trials...is there? The truth is, no one has ever lived a life completely free from pain, uncertainty, stress and trials. Yes, life does hurt. But those of us in Christ will never face hardships alone. As we bow down before the Lord, we know that Jesus is with us in our trials. Moreover, He will take our mournful ashes and use them to paint a magnificent picture for His glory.



"Many things about tomorow

I don't seem to understand

But I know who holds tomorrow

and I know who holds my hand!"
