Scripture focus: Liars hate their victims; flatterers sabotage trust. Proverbs 26:28
Prayer changes our outlook. It transforms us from liars to truth lovers; saboteurs to trusters.
For in prayer you align yourself to the purposes and power of God, and He is able to do through you that He couldn’t otherwise do. For this is an open universe, where some things are left open, contingent upon our doing them. If we do not do them, they will never be done. So God has left certain things open to prayer – things which will never be done except we pray.*
E. Stanley Jones
Oh my gosh – prayer matters.
Get busy.
* Jones, The Way to Power and Poise (Nashville: Abingdon-Cokesbury Press, 1949), p. 325.
