From this week's church bulletin: Regarding prayer and God's will versus our will.
"I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had absolutely no other place to go." Abraham Lincoln
"Is prayer your steering wheel or your spare tire?" Corrie Ten Boom
"The third petition of the Lord's Prayer is repeated daily by millions who have not the slightest intention of letting anyone's will be done but their own." Aldous Huxley
"Is the Son of God praying in me, or am I dictating to Him?" Oswald Chambers
"There are more tears shed over answered prayers than over unanswered prayers." Teresa of Avila (also quoted by Truman Capote in the preface of his last unfinished novel).
"Prayer in its highest form is agonizing soul sweat." Leonard Ravenhill
