God is looking for people to use, and if you can get usable, he will wear you out. The most dangerous prayer you can pray is this: 'Use me.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Prayer in the hour of need is a great boon. From simple trials to our Gethsemanes, prayer - persistent prayer - can put us in touch with God, our greatest source of comfort and counsel.
Prayer indeed is good, but while calling on the gods a man should himself lend a hand.
A lot of people are willing to pray or to put in work, but they're not willing to take true risks.
I prayed a lot. That's all I had in the gym; that was the thing I could turn to.
I so earnestly believe that prayer can be helpful and guide you and protect you and inspire you. I mean, I'm in awe.
It's funny how God will just keep using you, and our motto around our family forever has been, 'Just let Him use you.'
In my own personal life, God plays a great role in the risk, because I pray before I go into the operating room for every case, and I ask him to give me wisdom, to help me to know what to do - and not only for operating, but for everything.
God cannot use you as He wishes until you come into the fullness of His Glory. Do not get alarmed, my friend, when doubts creep in. That is old Satan. Pray, pray, pray.
Whoever has not begun the practice of prayer, I beg for the love of the Lord not to go without so great a good. There is nothing here to fear but only something to desire.
Praying is like a rocking chair - it'll give you something to do, but it won't get you anywhere.
