This morning, my friend Cathy shares with me some thought-provoking quotes about prayer from her reading of “Desiring God” by John Piper:
“Prayer is the antidote for the
disease of self-confidence.”

“The gospel is looking for us to hang out
a help wanted sign.” (this is the basic meaning of prayer.)

“There is no good service without prayer.”
“The life of prayer leads

So, Cathy reminds me later on today to put out my help wanted sign.
People won’t know the need unless they are told.
My Prayer sign will be hanging 24/7/365/Lifetime.
Thank you for applying!
