Prayer makes me feel more loved by God. More known by God. More sure of Him.
- Prayer re-calibrates my anxious heart.
- Prayer gives me hope. And a path to hope.
- Prayer is a form of therapy for the malady of “humanity”.
- Prayer lets me hear God’s Voice.
- Prayer is intimate. Up close. Very personal.
- Prayer cleans out dusty old drawers of forgotten sin.
- Prayer awakens. It’s the world’s best wake-up call.
- Prayer settles many matters. It’s Alka-Seltzer for the soul.
- Some mornings, I am not hungry for prayer – until I start “tasting” it. Yum.
- A day without prayer feels Robotic. Noisy. Headachy.
- Three days without prayer is distress similar to “spiritual low blood-sugar”.
- A week without prayer is a spiritual coma.
- Prayer creates a confidential connection with many others. It stamps out loneliness. Or the false threat of it.
- Prayer is fertilizer for love. My love grows every time I pray for somebody.
- Prayer is listening. Responding. It is privileged access to engage in a private conversation with Someone Very Important.
- Prayer makes me feel compassionately understood by the God of the universe.
- Prayer is a mountaintop experience for non-athletes!
- Prayer is a sacred trust. Sometimes, the trust is open, between me and another. Other times, the trust is a secret – shhh – just between God and me.
- Prayer is a LIGHT that overpowers darkness. If enough of us pray, we can light up a whole country. If enough of us pray, we can light the whole earth.
