PRAYER RETREAT
Don't wait for some miracle to be performed on you from without, lifting you above your fears and doubts and self-centeredness. You help God from within by turning in outgoing love to others, and miraculously your fears and doubts and self-centeredness will vanish. The miracle starts within, not from without.
~E.Stanley Jones~
For thou hast delivered my soul from death:
wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling,
that I may walk before God
in the light of the living?
~Psalms 56:13~
In Holy Communion we have Christ
under the appearance of bread.
In our work we find him under
the appearance of ##### and blood.
It is the same Christ
~Mother Theresa~
Prayers are answered
in the way they're asked.
~Ram Tirth~
I felt it better to speak to God
than about Him.
~St. Theresa of Lisieux~
Prayer is not the moment when God and humans are in relationship, for that is always. Prayer is taking initiative to intentionally respond to God's presence.
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for,
the evidence of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:1
Trust in him at all times;
ye people,
pour out your heart before him:
God is a refuge for us.
Psalm 62:8
The Lord is far from the wicked:
but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
Proverbs 15:29
And when ye stand praying,
forgive, if ye have ought against any:
that your Father also which is in heaven
may forgive you your trespasses.
Mark 11:25
Turn unto the Lord your God:
for he is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger, and of great kindness.
Joel 2:13
And what doth the Lord require of thee,
but to do justly, and to love mercy,
and to walk humbly with thy God?
Micah 6:8
I cried unto God with my voice
and he gave ear unto me.
Psalm 77:1
Creation was given to men as a clean window through which the light of God could shine into men's souls. Sun and moon, night and day, rain, sea, the crops, the flowering tree, all these things were transparent. They spoke to man not of themselves but only of Him who made them. Nature was symbolic. But the progressive degradation of man after the fall led the Gentiles further and further from this truth. Nature became opaque.
~Thomas Merton~
