Olivia’s Reviews > Elizabeth Prentiss: More Love to Thee > Status Update

“Elizabeth firmly believed that a Christian could ‘know’ peace whatever the circumstances through submitting to the will of God.”

“Being spiritual was not some esoteric experience. It was being patient with a tired and grumpy child; serving the needs of her husband when exhausted herself; listening patiently to the complaints of a discontented church member. Her ability to convey the down-to-earth reality of holiness in a way that other women could understand helps to explain the success of her writing ministry this period of her life.”

“You can’t think how sweet it is to be a pastor’s wife; to feel the right to sympathize with those who mourn, to fly to them at once, and join them in their prayers and tears.”

“Let people pray — earnestly, fervently, not simply morning and night, but the whole day long, making lives one continued prayer..” Elizabeth Prentiss

This is what I want! Continually talking to God throughout my moments, days, weeks.. making life one continued prayer. So beautiful.
