Commemoration of John Mason Neale, Priest, Poet, 1866

[Jesus:] “Unless you people see miraculous signs and wonders,” Jesus told him, “you will never believe.”
—John 4:48 (NIV)
Quotation:
Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks. Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle, but you yourself shall be the miracle.

Lord, You have already created the miracle of salvation in me.CQOD Blog email RSS
