O. Hallesby

We should say to God as we mingle with our dear ones each day 'God give them each Thy blessing. They need it because they live with me and I am very selfish and unwilling to sacrifice very much for them although I do love them.'.

When it becomes clear to us that prayer is a part of our daily program of work it will also become clear to us that we must arrange our daily program in such a way that there is time also for this work just as we set aside time for other necessary things such as eating and dressing.

My helpless friend your helplessness is the most powerful plea which rises up to the tender father-heart of God. You think that everything is closed to you because you cannot pray. My friend your helplessness is the very essence of prayer.
