Man punishes the action, but God the intention.
Thomas Fuller
The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous, And His ears are open to their cry. The face of the Lord is against evildoers, To cut off the memory of them from the earth. The righteous cry and the Lord hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted, And saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Psalm 34:15-18
The New American Standard Bible
To pray is nothing more involved than to lie in the sunshine of God’s grace.
