“Help"
is a prayer that is always answered. It doesn't matter how you pray--with your
head bowed in silence, or crying out in grief, or dancing. Churches are good
for prayer, but so are garages and cars and mountains and showers and dance
floors. Years ago I wrote an essay that began, "Some people think that God
is in the details, but I have come to believe that God is in the bathroom.”

J.D. Robb
“I
marveled at the beauty of all life and savored the power and possibilities of
my imagination. In these rare moments, I prayed, I danced, and I analyzed. I
saw that life was good and bad, beautiful and ugly. I understood that I had to
dwell on the good and beautiful in order to keep my imagination, sensitivity,
and gratitude intact. I knew it would not be easy to maintain this perspective.
I knew I would often twist and turn, bend and crack a little, but I also knew
that…I would never completely break.”

Maria Nhambu, Africa's Child
“I
have been finding treasures in places I did not want to search. I have been
hearing wisdom from tongues I did not want to listen. I have been finding
beauty where I did not want to look. And I have learned so much from journeys I
did not want to take. Forgive me, O Gracious One; for I have been closing my
ears and eyes for too long. I have learned that miracles are only called
miracles because they are often witnessed by only those who can can see through
all of life's illusions. I am ready to see what really exists on other side,
what exists behind the blinds, and taste all the ugly fruit instead of all that
looks right, plump and ripe.”

happen anyway.”

Nicholas Sparks, Three Weeks with My Brother
“She
knew that was not an honest prayer, and she did not linger over it. The right
prayer would have been, Lord . . . I am miserable and bitter at heart, and old
fears are rising up in me so that everything I do makes everything worse.”
―
Marilynne Robinson, Home
“There
comes a time in your life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who
create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad
and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones
who do not. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part
of life, getting back up is living.”
―
José N. Harris
“Love
people who hate you. Pray for people who have wronged you. It won’t just change
their life…it’ll change yours.”
