“Sabbath isn’t about resting perfectly; it’s about resting in the One who is perfect.”
― Shelly Miller, Rhythms of Rest: Finding the Spirit of Sabbath in a Busy World

“Prayer invites you to learn to listen to God before speaking, to ask like a child in your old age, to scream your questions in an angry tirade, to undress yourself in vulnerable confession, and to be loved—completely and totally loved, in spite of everything.”
― Tyler Staton, Praying Like Monks, Living Like Fools: An Invitation to the Wonder and Mystery of Prayer

“We cannot change simply by saying, “I want to change.” We have to examine what we think (our narratives) and how we practice (the spiritual disciplines) and who we are interacting with (our social context). If we change those things—and we can—then change will come naturally to us.”
― James Bryan Smith, The Good and Beautiful God: Falling in Love with the God Jesus Knows
