Six Benefits of Habitual Thankfulness in Prayer

At the close of Paul’s first letter to the Thessalonians, he offers a series of short, urgent commands that call believers to a steady rhythm of communion with God. Among them is the well‑known instruction: “In everything give thanks.” Jerry Bridges once observed that we “are anxious to receive but too careless to give thanks.

Paul Tautges and 48 other people liked Barnabas Piper's review of The Great Divorce: "I read this book years ago, in my early twenties and was largely underwhelmed. I was clearly the problem.

Quotes by Paul Tautges (?)

“As long as the eyes of our faith are fixed upon our troubles we will not find joy. Until our minds consciously move the Lord from our peripheral vision into the narrow corridor of our focus, joy will elude us.”
― Paul Tautges, Pray about Everything: Cultivating God-Dependency

tags: faith-in-god, joy

“Just as the expansion and contraction of our lungs in necessary for the continuance of our physical life, so regular fellowship with God in prayer is essential to our spiritual well-being. Without prayer our spiritual lives will shrivel up and return to an infantile state.”
― Paul Tautges, Pray about Everything: Cultivating God-Dependency

tags: essentials, prayer, spiritual

“When we find ourselves praying for something that we want, perhaps more than anything we've ever wanted before, can we honestly pray, 'Lord, do what will bring you the most glory"?”
― Paul Tautges, Pray about Everything: Cultivating God-Dependency
