two quotes my former employer (/friend) has had on her fb recently

"Prayer is not overcoming God's reluctance, but laying hold of His willingness." ~ Martin Luther

" . . . the secret to 'doing it all' is not necessarily doing it all, but rather discovering which part of the 'all' He has given us to do and doing all of THAT." ~ Jill Briscoe

and I think that's tough to do! (at least for some of us -- sometimes I wish I had a very obvious gift, like singing or something... of course, I'd also want the gift of liking to be the center of attention if that were the case;)

that first quote is very true (which is why it's here - and cuz i like it :) ). i think i have more trouble seeing prayer in the way luther describes, though. in fact i very much struggle with it. esp if i'm praying (or asking people to pray) for myself.

Hmmm good quotes.

I think I need to study the theology of prayer some more- I think I've been avoiding the "God changing His mind" question.

Love love love the second quote.
