Much praying is not done because we do not plan to pray. We do not drift into spiritual life we do not drift into disciplined prayer. We will not grow in prayer unless we plan to pray. That means we must self-consciousl y set aside time to do nothing but pray.

In any Christian view of life, self-fulfillment must never be permitted to become the controlling issue. The issue is service, the service of real people. The question is, 'How can I be most useful?', not, 'How can I feel most useful?'

What the Bible says is what God has disclosed and we want to approach this sacred text with cognitive reverence.

Many of us in our praying are like nasty little boys who ring front door bells and run away before anyone answers.
