Quotes from my friend Susan and other equally famous people.
On Prayer:
“Prayer moves the arm that moves the universe…Prayer is the
greatest privilege man can have.”
-Edward Owings Guerrant as quoted in the book, “Soldiers of the cross” by Kent D .Dollar
“I breathe; I pray. It’s just part of what I do each day to
exist.”
-Susan Siami (friend)
“We have taken a wartime walkie – talkie and tried to turn
it into a civilian intercom to call the servants for another cushion in the
den.”
-John Piper from his book “Desiring God”
“I don’t talk to my son any more. I talk to God about my
son. I used to talk to my son but I was getting nowhere. Now I talk to God
about my son and I get better results.”
-Susan Siami (friend)
“I realize that my goal in life is to wake up one morning
with everything going so well that I have nothing to pray about. But that is
not God’s goal for my life."
-Susan Siami (friend)
“When I lay my questions before God I get no answer. But a
rather special sort of ‘no answer’ It is not the locked door. It is more like a
silent, certainly not uncompassionate gaze, as though He shook His head not in
refusal but waiving the question. Like
‘Peace, child; you don’t understand."
-C. S. Lewis from his book “A Grief Observed”
“Courage is just fear that has said its prayers.”
-Adrian Rogers
