Yohannan, is likely from his book or teachings on prayer and spirituality. As a Gospel for Asia missionary, Yohannan spent much of his life serving in India, where he faced numerous challenges in sharing the Gospel with a predominantly Hindu population. This quote reflects his emphasis on the importance of a deep, ongoing relationship with God in the midst of ministry.\n\n**The Hidden Insight**\nThe hidden insight here is that prayer is not a scheduled activity, but rather a state of being. Yohannan is highlighting the tension between the idea of prayer as a set, ritualistic practice and the reality of a life surrendered to God. This means that prayer is not something we do for a specific amount of time each day, but rather something that permeates every aspect of our lives.\n\n**How to Use This**\nTo apply this mindset today, try incorporating \"prayer breaks\" into your daily routine, where you take a few moments to lift up specific needs or concerns to God in the midst of your work or activities. This can help you stay focused on God's presence and guidance, even in the midst of a busy or challenging day.",{"id":24,"quote_text":25,"author_id":5,"source_id":17,"has_image":18,"author":26,"source":27,"quote_tag":28,"commentary":9},3180275,"No matter what Jesus faced, He lived by what He knew about Himself, not by what others thought or said about Him.",{"id":5,"author_name":6,"slug":10,"author_name_first_letter":7,"article_count":8,"image_url":9},{},[],{"id":30,"quote_text":31,"author_id":5,"source_id":17,"has_image":18,"author":32,"source":33,"quote_tag":34,"commentary":9},3180271,"All too often, it seems, we’re willing to be students of Christianity rather than disciples of Christ.",{"id":5,"author_name":6,"slug":10,"author_name_first_letter":7,"article_count":8,"image_url":9},{},[],{"id":36,"quote_text":37,"author_id":5,"source_id":17,"has_image":18,"author":38,"source":39,"quote_tag":40,"commentary":9},3180269,"The single most important hindrance to world evangelization right now is the lack of total involvement by the body of Christ.",{"id":5,"author_name":6,"slug":10,"author_name_first_letter":7,"article_count":8,"image_url":9},{},[],{"id":42,"quote_text":43,"author_id":5,"source_id":17,"has_image":18,"author":44,"source":45,"quote_tag":46,"commentary":9},3180267,"Americans are more than aware of their affluence- they almost seem to despise it at times.",{"id":5,"author_name":6,"slug":10,"author_name_first_letter":7,"article_count":8,"image_url":9},{},[],{"id":48,"quote_text":49,"author_id":5,"source_id":17,"has_image":18,"author":50,"source":51,"quote_tag":52,"commentary":9},3180264,"To expect to continue controlling the use of money and the ministry overseas from our foreign-based mission board is an extension of colonialism.
