Gossip: hard to pray as Jesus did

Thursday, March 18, 2010
Meditation:
    One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”
    —Luke 11:1 (NIV)
Quotation:
    Be pleased to hear all these good people, who can pray [the Lord’s Prayer] to Thee so fast. And, in Thy mercy, may some of Thy grace to them overflow to me, whom Thou hast made too slow of mind to speak such august words as these so rapidly with any understanding.
    ... A. J. Gossip (1873-1954), In the Secret Place of the Most High, New York: Charles Scribner’s Sons, 1947, p. 57 (see the book)
Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, lead me to pray in the Spirit. CQOD    Blog    email    RSS
