Zingers from Croft M. Pentz, Tyndale House Publishers
4056. Prayer is a golden river at whose brink some die of thirst while others kneel and drink.
4057. Overheard in a prayer meeting: “Lord, I talk too much.”
4058. God not only prompts the asking--He also provides the answer.
4059. The melody of prayer is best played with the notes of praise, adoration, confession, and thanksgiving.
4060. We lie to God in prayer if we don’t rely on God after prayer.
