Sometimes the answer to prayer is not that it changes life, but that it changes you.

The Christian life is not a constant high. I have my moments of deep discouragement. I have to go to God in prayer with tears in my eyes, and say, 'O God, forgive me,' or 'Help me.' It is a most delightful reflection that if I come to the throne of God in prayer, I may feel a thousand defects, but yet there is hope. I usually feel more dissatisfied with my prayers than with anything else I do. Pray that success will not come any faster than you are able to endure it. God has such gladness every time he sees from heaven that a sinner is praying to Him with all his heart, as a mother has when she sees the first smile on her baby's face. Humanity is never so beautiful as when praying for forgiveness, or else forgiving another. Courage is fear that has said its prayers. Lord, deliver me from the man who never makes a mistake, and also from the man who makes the same mistake twice. Not all who go to church say their prayers. Let gratitude be the pillow upon which you kneel to say your nightly prayer. And let faith be the bridge you build to overcome evil and welcome good.
