Links Worth a Look

A quote that recently helped me:

"What does an unused prayer line look like? Anxiety. Instead of connecting with God, our spirits fly around like severed power lines, destroying everything they touch. Anxiety wants to be God but lacks God's wisdom, power, or knowledge. A godlike stance without godlike character and ability is pure tension." - Paul Miller, A Praying Life: Connecting with God in a Distracting World, p. 70
