I am careful how I bring my emotion, or my experience, to the need at hand. I don't ignore them; but neither do I let them dictate what I am praying. Our testimonies of previous results are valuable, and they may come into play. But this is a very dynamic story we find ourselves in, and as we mature in prayer, let us be careful not to assume this situation is exactly the same as the one before. You will want to ask God what needs to be prayed.

The key to receiving answers to prayers for guidance is to let go of our constant attempt to "figure things out."

Prayer does not have to be theologically correct. It is a conversation.

I would like to say thank you on behalf of the group and ourselves and I hope we've passed the audition.

People asking questions, lost in confusion, well I tell them there's no problem, only solutions.

When I find myself in times of trouble Mother Mary comes to me Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

One of the goals of a spiritual practice is self-awareness, and one of the best tools of self-awareness is simple emotional vulnerability.

Wherever you are, be there. Lifestyle is not something we do; it is something we experience. And until we learn to be there, we will never master the art of living well.

Gratitude is the single greatest treasure I will take with me from this experience.

Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday. Tragedy isn't getting something or failure to get it; it's losing something you already have. Waste not fresh tears over old griefs.

Worrying about next, tomorrow cripples our ability to think, act and exercise faith in the present and the present only is ours.

Where faith begins, anxiety ends; where anxiety begins, faith end.
