[…] Therefore our prayers should consist mainly of rousing our awareness of God's love for us rather than trying to rouse God's awareness of our love for him, like the priests of Baal on Mount Carmel (1 Kings 18:26-29)."
"God really performs the miracle of multiplying our time, but only if we give it to him first."
"The only way God can strengthen his presence in our will is to weaken his presence in our feelings. Otherwise we would become spiritual cripples, unable to walk without emotional crutches. This is why he gives us dryness, sufferings, and failures."

"We try too much and trust too little. Count the times God's Book tells us to "try."Now count the times it tells us to "trust."
"I guarantee you that after you die you will not say 'I spent too much time praying; I wish I had watched more TV instead."
