Is my heart more aligned with Jesus’ mission or my own?

If we are to pray aright, perhaps it is quite necessary that we pray contrary to our own heart. Not what we want to pray is important, but what God wants us to pray. The richness of the Word of God ought to determine our prayer, not the poverty of our heart.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness.
Matthew 9:35
The New International Version
A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.

The grace of God is sufficient for all our needs, for every problem and for every difficulty, for every broken heart, and for every human sorrow.
Peter Marshall
The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools. Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good.
Ecclesiastes 9:17-18
The King James Version
The best things in life are free, are they not? The air we breathe is not sold by the cubic foot. The water that flows crystal clear from the mountain stream is free for the taking. Love is free, faith is free, hope is free.
Billy Graham

Often we know the lonely and fail to reach out in love. We may be shy or find it hard to show love. We may feel that we are being insincere if we try. Then let us accept ourselves as we are—God’s imperfect instruments—and pray that he will use us despite our shortcomings.
Mother Teresa
O my Strength, I will sing praises to thee; for thou, O God, art my fortress.

People who wrestle with their consciences usually go for two falls out of three.

God’s silence is in no way indicative of His activity or involvement in our lives. He may be silent, but He is not still.
Charles Swindoll
Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.
Psalm 127:1-2
The King James Version
Benjamin West tells how he actually became a successful and important painter. When he was young, his mother went out and left him in charge of his sister Sally. In the meantime, little Benjamin discovered bottles of colored ink and began to do Sally’s portrait. What a mess soon developed. Finally, when Ben’s mother came home and saw the tragic mess, she said nothing. She merely picked up the paper with the portrait and said, “Why it’s Sally!” and she kissed Ben. Ever since that day, West has said, “My mother’s kiss made me a painter.”

Give us Lord, a bit o’sun,
A bit o’work, and a bit o’fun;
Give us all, in the struggle and sputter
Our daily bread and a bit o’butter.

Sin has many tools, but a lie is the handle which fits them all.

You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.
Deuteronomy 6:5

A novice monk asked a seasoned old veteran of the abbey, “After you entered the monastery, did you still struggle with the devil?” “No” Answered the older monk. “I struggled with God.” “With God?” Exclaimed his neophyte friend, “How could you hope to win?” The older monk softly replied, “When I struggle with God, I hope to lose.”

So often we pray and then fret anxiously, waiting for God to hurry up and do something. All the while God is waiting for us to calm down, so He can do something through us.
