Prayer Quote of the Week
We must remember God more often than we draw breath.
– Gregory of Nazianzus
Designed to Image God
Humans are designed to image or reflect God their Creator (Gen. 1:26-27). Don’t let the subtlety of this escape you. Our design as humans inherently requires something to image – God…. And when we don’t image him, by default we image ourselves and elevate ourselves as god. This is the height of idolatry…. We humans fail to grasp that we are most human when we image God. We vainly seek an image of our own to bear, hoping to project a self-image so captivating that others will love and accept us.
– Bill Clem in Disciple
Prayer Quote of the Week
Prayer means speaking to God who is in heaven,
who is all powerful to bless.
– D. Martyn Lloyd Jones
More Does Not Equal Meaning
As long as we think we are writing our own story, we will keep adding adventures or characters, thinking that more is the pathway to meaning and happiness. Here’s the problem: we just don’t have enough resources to get the meaning we crave.
– Bill Clem in Disciple
Prayer Quote of the Week
Prayer is not only a means to prevail for mercy,
but also to prevent sin.
– William Gurnall
Time With the Lord
By spending time with the Lord in the Word and prayer, we are likely to gain new perspective on our hassles and headaches. Starting each day with eternity makes our petty problems and long to-do lists seem less significant. By sitting at the feet of Jesus, we will grow more like him—more patient, more loving, more thoughtful. We’ll see that our screens do not satisfy like our Savior. We’ll see that wisdom was not born yesterday, or thirty-four seconds ago on social media. We’ll learn to keep our complaints to a minimum and our eyes on the cross. And we’ll become more helpful to those around us.

And pray ye also without ceasing for the rest of mankind
(for there is in them a hope of repentance),
that they may find God.
– Ignatius
The Most Significant Opportunity
We have to believe that the most significant opportunity before us every day is the opportunity to sit at the feet of Jesus. We won’t rearrange our priorities unless we really believe this is the best one.
– Kevin DeYoung in Crazy Busy
Prayer Quote of the Week
Prayer is as natural an expression of faith as breathing is of life.
– Jonathan Edwards
