Few people arise in the morning as hungry for God as they are for cornflakes or toast and eggs. Dallas Willard
A carefully cultivated heart will, assisted by the grace of God, foresee, forestall, or transform most of the painful situations before which others stand like helpless children saying “Why? Dallas Willard
Kingdom praying and its efficacy is entirely a matter of the innermost heart's being totally open and honest before God. It is a matter of what we are saying with our whole being, moving with resolute intent and clarity of mind into the flow of God's action. Dallas Willard
And God has set up prayer in such a way that, if you want to explain it away, you can. That's the human mind. God se it up like that for a reason, which is this: God ordained that people should be governed in the end by what they want. Dallas Willard

There is no avoiding the fact that we live at the mercy of our ideas This is never more true than with our ideas about God. Dallas Willard
Sometimes we get caught up in trying to glorify God by praising what He can do and we lose sight of the practical point of what He actually does do. Dallas Willard
