"There is one worldview which can explain the existence of the universe, its form, and the uniqueness of people--the world-view given to us in the Bible." ~ Francis Schaeffer, Whatever Happened to the Human Race
He only time in all the gospels that Jesus Christ prays to God and doesn't call him Father is on the cross, when he says, 'My God, My God, why have you forsaken me? why have you forsaken me?' - Timothy Keller, Prayer, Page 79
That we may obtain that which thou dost promise, made as to love that which thou dost command. - Collect for the 14th Sunday after Trinity, Book of Common Prayer
Grant us to bear willingly all sorts of sickness, poverty, disgrace, suffering, and adversity and to recognise that this is your divine will in crucifying our will. - Martin Luther, Personal prayer book, Page 32
... If you want to pray, you don't have to be anxious about whether God listen. You wouldn't even be feeling helpless and needy toward God unless he was at your side making you capable of feeling that way, leading you to think of prayer . When we feel most completely helpless, we should be more secure in the knowledge that God is with us and is listening to our prayer. -Timothy Keller. Prayer Page 129
