“In memorizing the prayer, it may be helpful to remind yourself that you are not addressing some extraterrestrial being outside you. The kingdom of heaven is within us, and the Lord is enshrined in the depths of our own consciousness. In this prayer we are calling deep into ourselves, appealing to the spark of the divine that is our real nature.” MayRealHeavenPrayerConsciousnessLordDivineCallingDepthKingdomsHelpfulSparksKingdom Of HeavenExtraterrestrialMemorizing Book:The Undiscovered Country: Exploring the Promise of Death Source: The Undiscovered Country: Exploring the Promise of Death
“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.

“We come before God to pray for the missing and the dead, and for those who loved them... Our purpose as a nation is firm, yet our wounds as a people are recent and unhealed and lead us to pray... This world he created is of moral design. Grief and tragedy and hatred are only for a time. Goodness, remembrance, and love have no end, and the Lord of life holds all who die and all who mourn... Neither death nor life nor angels nor principalities, nor powers nor things present nor things to come nor height nor depth can separate us from God's love.” PeopleWorldEndsHumorPoliticalPurposeDiesNationsGriefMoralLordMissingDesignThis WorldPrayingGoodnessAngelHatredAnd LoveTragedyDepthWoundsFirmHeightRemembranceMournGod's LovePolitical Humor Author:George W.

“I realized that if I was going to understand the uniqueness and depth of God's love for me, I had to mentally separate my relationships with people from my relationship with the Lord. God's love should never be distorted or diminished by comparing it with the friendship or love of any human who has let me down, rejected me, betrayed me, or lied about me.” PeopleIfsShouldHumansLordLet MeDepthI RealizedCompareUniquenessRejectedBetrayedLiedGod's LoveLord GodLet Me Down Author:Robin Jones Gunn

“The empire of Saturnus is gone by; Lord of the secret birth of things is he; Within the lap of earth, and in the depths Of the imagination dominates; And his are all things that eschew the light. The time is o'er of brooding and contrivance, For Jupiter, the lustrous, lordeth now, And the dark work, complete of preparation, He draws by force into the realm of light. Now must we hasten on to action, ere The scheme, and most auspicious positure Parts o'er my head, and takes once more its flight, For the heavens journey still, and adjourn not.” StillsLightActionEarthForceHeavenImaginationDarkSecretLordGoneJourneyBirthDrawsAll ThingsDepthFlightPreparationRealmsEmpiresSchemesLapBroodingJupiter Author:Friedrich Schiller
“The essence of Christianity is centered upon the Lord Jesus Christ. The sum and substance of being a Christian is trusting Christ with the entirety of one's being. The height of the Christian life is adoring Christ, the depth of it loving Him, the breadth of it obeying Him, and the length of it following Him. Everything in the Christian life revolves around Jesus Christ. Simply put, Christianity is Christ.” ChristianLife IsJesusChristChristianityLordJesus ChristEssenceDepthFollowingChristian LifeSubstanceHeightLengthLoving LifeLord Jesus ChristBreadthObeyingEntiretyLoving Him Book:The Kind of Preaching God Blesses Source: The Kind of Preaching God Blesses
