“God shapes the world by prayer. Prayers are deathless. The lips that uttered them may be closed to death, the heart that felt them may have ceased to beat, but the prayers live before God, and God’s heart is set on them and prayers outlive the lives of those who uttered them; they outlive a generation, outlive an age, outlive a world.” E. M. Bounds (1835-1913)
Prayer warms our hearts … and God’s.
Good morning, Lord. Warm my heart with Your love, open my eyes to Your words of wisdom, open my arms to those who need a helping hand. Above all, O God, teach me to pray, show me how to live in constant conversation with You. Fill my soul with praise, gratitude, compassion and grace.
