Andrew Gray on Prayer
December 28, 2007 by Ingrid Schlueter
“Prayer is the travel of the soul between emptiness and fullness, between misery and mercy, between inability to help ourselves and complete ability in Him to help us. Prayer is one depth crying out to another depth; it is the depth of our necessities crying out to the depth of the fullness of God. Prayer is the messenger of the soul by which the soul keeps intimate and familiar correspondence with heaven.”
–Andrew Gray
Beautiful post, thank you so much for sharing this quote.
The following isn’t for this post but I had no other way of getting this to you.
On a different matter, I wanted to show you this article.
I was at the market when I saw this free magazine. I saw it had an article about Joel Osteen. This magazine is far from Christian but it had a few comments in it that I thought you might find interesting. The magazine had a website (as I said, it is not a Christian magazine) and the article is online.

One of the quotes is this;
“It’s the Bless-Me Club. It is self-help, and that kind of message plays very well in America. It’s the opposite of the message of salvation, which is that you are saved by grace from God.”
I found this remarkable coming from a non-Christian magazine.
