I am in the church book club that is reading "A Praying Life" by Paul Miller. It is a GREAT book; so very encouraging and applicable to daily life. I have even started to put into practice some of the things I am learning. I HIGHLY reccomend this book! Here are just some of my favorite quotes from the book:
"The criteria for coming to Jesus is weariness. Come overwhelmed with life. Come with your wandering mind. Come messy"
"How do we learn to talk with our Father? By asking like a child, believing like a child, and even playing like a child"
"Don't be embarrassed by how needy your heart is and how much it needs to cry out for grace. Just start praying"
"We become anxious when we take a godlike stance, occupying ourselves with things too great for us. We return to sanity by becoming like little children, resting on our mothers"
"When you stop trying to control your life and instead allow your anxieties and problems to bring you to God in prayer, you shift from worry to watching"
"Instead of fighting anxiety we can use it as a springboard to bending our hearts toward God"
"When you pray, your are touching the hopeful heart of God. When you know that, prayer becomes an adventure"
I will say it again; READ THIS BOOK! :D
