“So to “love God with all your mind” means engaging all your powers of thought to know God as fully as possible in order to treasure him for all he is worth.”
― John Piper, Think: The Life of the Mind and the Love of God

“While Moses had his frustrations, and perhaps some doubts, throughout his interactions with Pharaoh, Moses continued to believe and obey God despite what seemed like a series of triumphs on Pharaoh’s part. Moses trusted in the veracity of God’s words and he acted upon them. He not only believed God’s words at a cognitive level, he also believed them at the volitional level. He heard God’s word and he did God’s word.”
― Anthony Selvaggio, From Bondage to Liberty: The Gospel According to Moses

“Prayer, true prayer, does not allow us to deceive ourselves. It relaxes the tension of our self-inflation. It produces a clearness of spiritual vision. . . . It saps our self-deception and its Pharisaism. . . . So by prayer we acquire our true selves.”242”
― Timothy Keller, Prayer: Experiencing Awe and Intimacy with God

“What is prayer, then, in the fullest sense? Prayer is continuing a conversation that God has started through his Word and his grace, which eventually becomes a full encounter with him.”
― Timothy Keller, Prayer: Experiencing Awe and Intimacy with God
