Until we are disciplined properly we will always be inclined to bank on God's miracles and refuse to do the moral thing ourselves. It is our job and it will never be done unless we do it.

The whole meaning of prayer is that we may know God.

I am blind to the very things that make for our own peace.

Whenever we put other things first, there is confusion.
