inspirational prayer ideas
We tend to use prayer as a last resort, but God wants it to be our first line of defense. We pray when there's nothing else we can do, but God wants us to pray before we do anything at all. Most of us would prefer, however, to spend our time doing something that will get immediate results. We don't want to wait for God to resolve matters in His good time because His idea of 'good time' is seldom in sync with ours.

We have to pray with our eyes on God, not on the difficulties.

We are not responsible for the circumstances we are in, but we are responsible for the way we allow those circumstances to affect us; we can either allow them to get on top of us or we can allow them to transform us into what God wants us to be.

Never believe that the so-called random events of life are anything less than God’s appointed order. Be ready to discover His divine designs anywhere and everywhere.

Certain things can only be dealt with by ignoring them; if you face them you increase their power. It is absurd to say, Pray about them; when once a thing is seen to be wrong, don't pray about it, it fixes the mind on it; never for a second brood on it, destroy it by neglect.

Never become attached to anything that continues to hurt God. For you to be free of it, God must be allowed to hurt whatever it may be.
not-good-enough enemy faith-in-god
The great enemy of the life of faith in God is not sin, but the good which is not good enough. The good is always the enemy of the best.

When obedience is in the ascendant, He will tax the remotest star and the last grain of sand to assist you with all His Almighty power.
