Part 1<\/a><\/p>\nA couple from Dom John Chapman:<\/p>\n
\u201cPray the way you can \u2014 not the way you can\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe only prayer you\u2019ll ever have is the prayer you have today \u2014 muddled and confused \u2014 but if you don\u2019t pray it, you\u2019ll never pray at all.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2013<\/p>\n
\u201cPrayer doesn\u2019t change things. Prayer changes people & people change things.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCrises do not change us \u2014 they simply reveal to us what we\u2019ve become.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOne can bear almost anything for 24 hours.\u201d<\/p>\n
Prayer: \u201cLord, let me behave.\u201d<\/p>\n
Prayer: \u201cLord, I\u2019m at your disposal.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGod can do anything He likes \u2026 but, normally He acts normally.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019ll normally let you do anything you like while you come to your senses.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGod doesn\u2019t coerce people. He waits for a response of love to His love.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBe thankful for someone who is driving you mad. It won\u2019t change them, but it\u2019ll change you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBe thankful & be happy.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMy age is the right age \u2014 and it increases annually.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you can\u2019t be thankful for where you are \u2014 you aren\u2019t gonna be thankful anywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n
