“I had to tell Dad, 'It will be okay and be positive; keep praying and have faith'. I have always known about cancer, but to be around someone who has it and to see what it does in such a short space of time was hard. It makes you think about your life, about what is important.” ThinkingDoeImportantHardSpaceKnownPrayingDadOkayCancerHave FaithMake You ThinkBeing Positive Author:Jermain Defoe
“If the goal is to realize the Supreme Being, you should become egoless. That requires self-effort. The sadhak should work hard. He should pray sincerely for the removal of the negative tendencies. This prayer is not to achieve anything or to fulfill any desires. It is to go beyond all achievements. It is to transcend all desires.” IfsShouldSelfHardDesireGoalRealizingPrayerEffortAchieveHard WorkPrayingAchievementNegativeExcellenceSupremeTendenciesSincerelyRemovalSupreme Being Author:Mata Amritanandamayi
“I live. I travel. I eat. I pray. These are the things I do.

“Out of a very intimate acquaintance with D. L. Moody, I wish to testify that he was a far greater pray-er than he was preacher. Time and time again, he was confronted by obstacles that seemed insurmountable, but he always knew the way to overcome all difficulties. He knew the way to bring to pass anything that needed to be brought to pass. He knew and believed in the deepest depths of his soul that nothing was too hard for the Lord, and that prayer could do anything that God could do.” WaySoulHardWishPrayerLordGreaterPrayingNeededOvercomingDifficultyDepthObstaclesIntimatePreacherAcquaintanceRevivalMoodyRevival PrayerGod PrayerInsurmountableRevival In America Author:R.

“Unless we realize our sins enough to call them by name, it is hardly worth while to say anything about them at all. When we pray for forgiveness, let us say, "my temper," or "untruthfulness," or "pride," "my selfishness, my cowardice, indolence, jealousy, revenge, impurity." To recognize our sins, we must look them in the face and call them by their right names, however hard. Honesty in confession calls for definiteness in confession.” LooksHardEnoughFacesNamesRealizingSinHonestyPridePrayingRevengeSelfishnessTemperCowardiceConfessionSay AnythingIndolenceImpurityUntruthfulness Book:Thoughts for Every-day Living from the Spoken and Written Words of Maltbie Davenport Babcock Source: Thoughts for Every-day Living from the Spoken and Written Words of Maltbie Davenport Babcock
