“To turn our fast lives into stillness and our busy minds into solitude is an act of rebellion against the curse that runs through our veins.”

“We try to import prayer into our hurried lives—treating the symptoms but avoiding the full detox—and the result is lip service to God, while effortlessly conforming to culture remains the one, true god we worship. We can keep up the illusion, ignore the truth—as long as we never stop moving.”

“Prayer is more practice than theory, so let me offer a starting place, with a phrase borrowed from Dom John Chapman: “Pray as you can, and don’t try to pray as you can’t.”

“The most important discovery you will ever make is the love the Father has for you,” writes Pete Greig, founder of the 24-7 Prayer Movement. “Your power in prayer will flow from the certainty that the One who made you likes you, he is not scowling at you, he is on your side . . . Unless our mission and our acts of mercy, our intercession, petition, confession, and spiritual warfare begin and end in the knowledge of the Father’s love, we will act and pray out of desperation, determination, and duty instead of revelation, expectation, and joy.”19”
