Quotes from A Rhythm of Prayer:

• "Prayer is not about getting what we want. It's about wanting what God wants."
• "Silence is the language of God. It is in the silence that we hear His voice."
• "Gratitude is the key to joy. When we focus on the things we are grateful for, our hearts are filled with happiness."
• "Lament is a necessary part of the Christian life. It is through lament that we come to terms with our pain and suffering and find healing."
