“The danger, then, is that materialism is not only shaping how we live but the way we think as well. It influences our consumer tastes and our preference for high-paying jobs, but it also alters our capacity to pray, the nature of our prayers, and the ways in which religious tutelage instructs our values.” ThinkingWayWellsJobsValuesReligiousPrayerInfluenceDangerPrayingTasteCapacityConsumersMaterialismConsumerismPreferenceOur PrayersOverconsumptionTutelage Author:Robert Wuthnow
“I am a futility. The life of prayer begins with that. And God is not a comfort, to be offered like Kleenex. God is a poisoned sea, with broken syringes washing up on the beach. God is shopping malls stretching to the horizon and warplanes in the sky. God is a flat tire in a rainstorm and beer cans in the ditch, a bottle shattered on a highway and the taste of gunmetal in your mouth.” PrayerSeaSkyBrokenComfortTasteMouthsBeerBeachFlatsHorizonBottlesShoppingTireHighwaysWashingShatteredStretchingFutilityMallsRainstormsFlat TiresKleenex Author:Tim Farrington
“If you don't pray often, you won't gain a love for praying. Prayer is work, and therefore it is not very appealing to our natural sensibilities. But the simple rule for prayer is this: Begin praying and your taste for prayer will increase. The more you pray, the more you will acquire the desire for prayer, the energy for prayer, and the sense of purpose in prayer.” IfsDesirePurposeEnergyNaturalPrayerSimplePrayingTasteGainsIncreaseAcquireSensibility Book:Wrestling Prayer: A Passionate Communion with God Source: Wrestling Prayer: A Passionate Communion with God
