“Learning to pray doesn’t offer you a less busy life; it offers you a less busy heart.”
― Paul E. Miller, A Praying Life: Connecting With God In A Distracting World

“If you are not praying, then you are quietly confident that time, money, and talent are all you need in life.”
― Paul E. Miller, A Praying Life: Connecting With God In A Distracting World

“There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations - these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub and exploit - immortal horrors or everlasting splendors. This does not mean that we are to be perpetually solemn. We must play. But our merriment must be of that kind (and it is, in fact, the merriest kind) which exists between people who have, from the outset, taken each other seriously - no flippancy, no superiority, no presumption.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory

“If you know that you, like Jesus, can’t do life on your own, then prayer makes complete sense.”
― Paul E. Miller, A Praying Life: Connecting with God in a Distracting World
