• Often the answer to our prayer does not come while we’re on our knees but while we’re on our feet serving the Lord and serving those around us.

By becoming the answer to someone’s prayer we often find the answer to our own.

• I will have nothing to do with a God who cares only occasionally. I need a God who is with us always, everywhere, in the deepest depths as well as the highest heights. It is when things go wrong, when good things do not happen, when our prayers seem to have been lost, that God is most present. We do not need the sheltering wings when things go smoothly. We are closest to God in the darkness, stumbling along blindly.

  Madeleine L'Engle
