“Prayers prayed in the Spirit never die until they accomplish God's intended purpose. His answer may not be what we expected, or when we expected it, but God often provides much more abundantly than we could think or ask. He interprets our intent and either answers or stores up our prayers. Sincere prayers are never lost. Energy, time, love, and longing can be endowments that will never be wasted or go unrewarded.” ThinkingMaySpiritPurposeDiesAsksEnergyLostPrayerAnswersLongingAccomplishExpectedStoresSincereOur PrayersTime LoveEndowmentSincere Prayer Author:Wesley L Duewel

“There may be a time in life when one is tired of everything and feels as if all one does is wrong, and there maybe some truth in it- do you think this is a feeling one must try to forget and to banish, or is it 'the longing for God,' which one must not fear, but cherish to see if it may bring us some good? Is it 'the longing for God' which leads us to make a choice which we never regret? Let us keep courage and try to be patient and gentle. And not mind being eccentric, and make distinction between good and evil.” IfsThinkingFeelsTryingMindMayDoeFeelingsChoicesEvilForgetRegretLongingTiredPatientGentleDistinctionGood And EvilCherishBe PatientEccentricNever RegretLonging For God Author:Vincent Van Gogh
