“Jesus has not revealed a God we can perfectly understand, but a God we can perfectly trust.”

“God always answers the prayers of His children. He will either give us what we ask, or will give us what we would have asked if we knew everything he knew.”

“Why is there prayer? For wartime, not civilian time. The number one reason prayer malfunctions in the hands of believers is because they try to take a wartime walkie-talkie and turn it into a domestic intercom by which they ring up the maid to bring another pillow. It malfunctions. It’s made for tanks. It’s made for trenches. It’s made for war. It won’t work when you install it in your yacht…Until we believe that life is war, we will not know what prayer is for.”

“To clasp the hands in prayer is the beginning of an uprising against the disorder of the world. The means by which we push back the curse that infected the world and infected us.”
