Is prayer your lucky charm?

"When our prayers, such as they are, become no more than the handmaid of our desires, they are not real prayers but a kind of lucky charm in words."

Pseudo-wisdom

"Those who deeply feel their own need to be taught by the Lord do not itch to dispense their pseudo-wisdom to others."

God's Way

"What we need...is not a comfortable conscience with whatever seems to be the way of things, but a clear view of the will of God and the spiritual impetus to do things his way! If we do this, we may well discover that what we thoughtlessly took for granted was marked with condemnation by God, wheras his way is full of the richest blessings!
