“Many people pray as though to overcome the will of a reluctant God, instead of taking hold of the willingness of a loving God.”

“It is wise to pray for the future, but not to worry about it, because we can’t live it until it becomes the present The depth of our anxiety measures the distance we are from God.”

“If we have the opportunity to help in some practical way when our loved ones or other people we are concerned about are in trouble—let’s do so. If there is no such opportunity, let’s pray for them and believe that, in so doing, we are helping to connect their minds to God’s influence. But let’s not expect same-day service. The important part is not to cancel our prayers by later worrying. (There is a vast difference between being concerned and worrying.) Long-distance, unconditional faith is the best kind.”
