From Roy Lessin 1 Corinthians 15:10 NLT

Jesus,

Use my voice to speak as You;
Use my ears to listen as You;
Use my hands to give as You;
Use my feet to walk as You;
Use my life to serve as You;
Use my heart to love as You.

But whatever I am now, it is all because God poured out His special favor on me…it was not I but God who was working through me by His grace.

Half way

Just because you're half way up Everest, doesn't mean you're going to reach the summit. On the other hand, it's tough to get to the summit without passing half way. --LICC--

Great Quotes on Prayer

From Roy Lessin today I post the following great quotes for our prayers

The Ministry of Prayer

“Prayer should be

the breath of our breathing,
the thought of our thinking,
the soul of our feeling, and
the life of our living,
the sound of our hearing,
the growth of our growing.”

Prayer in its magnitude is

length without end,
width without bounds,
height without top, and
depth without bottom.

Illimitable in its breadth, exhaustless in height,
fathomless in depths and infinite in extension. —HOMER W. HODGE

The Promises and Prayer

Every promise of Scripture is a writing of God, which may be pleaded before Him with this reasonable request: “Do as Thou hast said.”

The Creator will not cheat His creature who depends upon His truth; and, far more, the Heavenly Father will not break His word to His own child.

“Remember the word unto Thy servant, on which Thou hast caused me to hope,” is most prevalent pleading. It is a double argument: It is Thy Word, wilt Thou not keep it? Why hast Thou spoken of it if Thou wilt not make it good? Thou hast caused me to hope in it; wilt Thou disappoint the hope which Thou hast Thyself begotten in me?—C. H. SPURGEON
