If I am indeed my own god, I’d better start praying to myself to get myself out of myself.

A nation aimlessly drifting away from God is a nation for which prayer is a rudder and praise is a sail. And it is the man or woman on their knees that builds the former and gives wind to the latter.

Maybe the prayer request that we should start with is that we begin to pray.

Our prayers are something akin to delivering a list, verses surrendering a life. The former will always leave me creating the next list, while the latter will leave me creating a new life.

I disagree. Now is ‘not’ the time to take action. Now is the time to be thoughtful, reflective and prayerful. The action comes after that.
