“Our inward power, when it obeys nature, reacts to events by accommodating itself to what it faces - to what is possible. It needs no specific material. It pursues its own aims as circumstances allow; it turns obstacles into fuel. As a fire overwhelms what would have quenched a lamp. What's thrown on top of the conflagration is absorbed, consumed by it - and makes it burn still higher.” NeedsStillsFacesTurnsFireEventsMaterialsHigherCircumstancesAimObstaclesPursueFuelThrownInwardLampsConsumed Book:Meditations: A New Translation Source: Meditations: A New Translation
“Prayer that works is prayer that makes a difference, contemplation that turns into action, on behalf of peace and justice in a troubled and unjust world system. Prayer is energy, the energy of love and transformative power. It is given to us to use for the good of all creation. In prayer God gives us the fuel of life, and asks us to live it.” WorldGivingUseActionTurnsAsksEnergyGivenDifferencesJusticePrayerChristianityCreationContemplationFuelMaking A DifferenceUnjustBehalfPeace And Justice Author:Margaret Silf
