Pray Quotes
-
If we pray only because we want answers, we will become irritated and angry with God. We receive an answer every time we pray, but it does not always come in the way we expect, and our spiritual irritation shows our refusal to identify ourselves truly with our Lord in prayer. We are not here to prove that God answers prayer, but to be living trophies of God’s grace.
Oswald Chambers

Was not Paul an extremist for the Christian gospel: "I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus."
