“Our Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil; for thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.” ~ Matthew 6:9-13 ~
“Prayer in the sense of petition, asking for things, is a small part of it; confession and penitence are its threshold, adoration its sanctuary, the presence and vision and enjoyment of God its bread and wine.”
~ C. S. Lewis ~
“God never gives us discernment in order that we may criticize, but that we may intercede.”
~ Oswald Chambers ~
“Pray as though everything depended upon God. Work as though everything depended upon you.”
~ St. Augustine ~
“Prayer does not fit us for the greater work; it is the greater work.” ~ Oswald Chambers ~

I was reminded by your Wesley quote of when I was a member of a committee working in schools down here with Scripture union. We used to start with a prayer and then get into business. Gradually we lengthened the prayer time and found that almost no matter how long we prayed, we got through the business in whatever time was left.
I always seem to come away from your Sabbath -Keeping posts a bit more encouraged, and challenged at the same time.I especially like the quotes by C.S. Lewis & Oswald Chambers. Thank-you Sandra.
Praying is important!! Thanks for reminding us this!
Have a nice week!
