“When you see another person not going on
spiritually, God has not given you that
discernment that you may criticize but that you
may intercede.”
Oswald Chambers
“Give me one hundred preachers who fear
nothing but sin, and desire nothing but God, and
I care not a straw whether they be clergymen or
laymen; such alone will shake the gates of hell
and set up the kingdom of heaven on earth. God
does nothing but in answer to prayer.”
JohnWesley
“The one concern of the devil is to keep saints
from prayer. He fears nothing from prayerless
studies, prayerless work, prayerless religion. He
laughs at our toil, mocks at our wisdom, but
trembles when we pray.”
Samuel Chadwick
“Prayer is the breathing and panting of the spirit
after God. It is a taking hold of the willingness of
God, rather than an overcoming of His
reluctance. It is a tuning in on the great,
thunderous two-thousand-year-old prayer
meeting going on in the glory above.”

JewishThought:
The vengeful person will find vengeance from the
Lord and her/his sins she/he will surely treasure
up.Forgive the wrong of your neighbor and then
when you pray your sins will be released. Can a
person keep wrath against a person and then
seek healing from the Lord? Can someone not
have mercy on someone like herself/himself and
pray for their own sins? For a person, being made
of flesh, who retains wrath, who will atone for
that person’s sins? Remember your last days and
stop hating, (remember) decay and death and
keep the commandments (Sirach 28:1-6).
 Remember the debt you have been forgiven.
 Remember the debt you have been forgiven.
 Rely on the Holy Spirit to enable you to
forgive.The word “forgive” literally means
“to release, to let go of.” Simply put,
forgiveness is letting go of my right to hurt
you for hurting me.
