2

Two great quotes for day 2:

'How much our Christianity suffers from this, that it is confined to certain times and places.'

- Takes Christianity and prayer from something we only do as part of our schedule and makes it what it supposed to be - all consuming.

'...That the knowledge of the Fatherhood of God, the revelation of His inifinite Fatherliness in our hearts, the faith in the infinite love that gives us His Son and His Spirit to make us children, is indeed the secret of prayer in spirit and truth. This is the new and living way Christ opened up for us. To have Christ the Son, and the Spirit of the Son, dwelling within us, and revealing the Father, this makes us true, spiritual worshippers.'


- The Love of God is not just something that makes us feel good about ourselves and makes our problems go away. It is also the pathway that is both devoid of fear and apathy and filled with desire to commune with God. We talk about the love of God all the time at Wesley, but have we understood its place and role in teaching us to pray? How much voluntary time do you spend with people you do not love/like or with people with whom you believe do not like/love you? Father, help us to understand your love so we might learn how to pray....
