Denver granddaughters, the Keister young ladies.Theresa and I are enjoying a snowy Christmas in Denver wiwth Fletcher, Jennifer and girls.
Just finished reading "If You Will Ask" by Oswald Chambers - a challenging short book on prayer. Cost me six cents on Amazon (plus shipping).
Some interesting tidbits:
When a man is born from above, the life of the Son of God begins in him, and he can either starve that life or nourish it. Prayer nourishes the life of God.
Prayer to Him is not a way to get things from God, but so that we may get to know God... the very presence of God.
It is not cowardly to pray when we are at our wits end; it is the only way to get in touch with reality. As long as we are self-sufficient and complacent, we don't need to ask God for anything; we don't want Him. It is only when we know we are powerless that we are prepared to listen to Jesus Christ and do what He says.
The whole meaning of prayer is that we get to know God. May that be a greater desire on our parts for next yer.
