Prayer thoughts
When God asks us to make a sacrifice, He also gives us the grace
to do so. By going through the sometimes painful process of denial, acceptance, relinquishment and surrender, God kneads His
grace into our hearts, much like a baker kneads dough when making bread. And, oh the joy, when our sacrifice, like fresh-baked
bread, is complete! .... Lord God, grant me the inexpressible joy that comes
from a willing heart, prepared to sacrifice.
Talking about prayer .....
There's a great C.S. Lewis quote that puts things into perspecitive. He wrote in Mere
Christianity that each morning the very moment you wake up "all your wishes and hopes for the day rush at you like wild
animals. And the first job each morning consists simply in shoving them all back; listening to that other Voice, taking in
that other point of view, letting that other larger, stronger, quieter life come flowing in. And so on, all day. Standing
back from all your natural fussings and frettings; coming in out of the wind. We can only do it for moments at first. But
from those moments the new sort of life will be spreading through our system; because now we are letting Him work at the right
part of us. It is the difference between paint, which is merely laid on the surface, and a dye or stain which soaks right
through."
