Prayer is the means that God has ordained for the supply of grace that is necessary to be joyful in hope.

For me, prayer is an upward leap of the heart, an untroubled glance towards heaven, a cry of gratitude and love which I utter from the depths of sorrow as well as from the heights of joy.

The more you praise, the more vigor you will have for prayer; and the more you pray, the more matter you will have for praise.

Worship seals all prayers at the front and at the back. Always pray with praise beginning and praise ending.

Prayer is our humble answer to the inconceivable surprise of living.

Amazing things start happening when we start praying!

We can scarcely indeed look into any part of the sacred volume without meeting abundant proofs, that it is the religion of the Affections which God particularly requires. Love, Zeal, Gratitude, Joy, Hope, Trust, are each of them specified; and are not allowed to us as weaknesses, but enjoined on us as our bounden duty, and commended to us as our acceptable worship.

It goes back to the passage from Proverbs. We don't know what to do, where to go, or how. So I thought we'd try and take this time to find out what we want, and what God wants, and pray for each other.

I found that joy can be acquired like a habit, in the same way as a folded sheet of paper falls naturally into the same fold.

Happy moments, praise God. Difficult moments, seek God. Quiet moments, worship God. Painful moments, trust God. Every moment, thank God.
