Knowing God is a matter of personal dealing ... Knowing God is more than knowing about him; it is a matter of dealing with him as he opens up to you, and being dealt with by him ... Friends... open the hearts to each other by what they say and do... We must not lose sight of the fact let knowing God is emotional relationship, as well as intellectual and volitional one, and could not indeed be a deep relationship between persons if it were not so. - JI Packer, Knowing God
Prayer is a continuing conversation that God has started through his Word and his grace, which eventually becomes a full encounter with him.- Timothy Keller, Prayer, Page 48
We cannot look directly at the sun with our eyes. The glory of it would immediately overwhelm and destroy our sight. We have to look at it through a filter, and then we can see the great flames and colours all Of it. When we look at Jesus Christ as he is shown to in the Scriptures, we are looking at the glory of God through the filter of a human nature. - Timothy Keller, Prayer, Page 49
...there is a place for silence before God... After we have spoken to him, while joy at God's love invades the soul.- J I Packer and At Carolyn Nystrom, Praying our way through duty to delight
The Bible does not present an art of prayer, it presents the God of prayer. - Edmund P Clowney, A Biblical theology
