“Prayer is the opening of the heart so we can receive all these good things that God has for us every day. It's like sitting down at a table that God has prepared for us. He says, 'I have everything you need today - all the grace, all the wisdom, all the provision that you need - but sit down at the table and eat. Don't be so rushed and so busy and try to live without My supply.'” NeedsTryingHeartTodayPrayerGraceSittingTablesGood ThingsPreparedBusyOpeningProvisionSitting Down Author:Jim Cymbala
