in Christ alone

We look upon prayer as a means of getting things for ourselves; the Bible idea of prayer is that we may get to know God Himself.

“Oh my soul– if He has been planning your salvation so long, won’t He accomplish it? Did he choose me before the mountains were raised or the trenches of the oceans dug, only to reject me now? Impossible! I am sure Jesus would not have loved me so long if He was not a changeless lover. If He could grow weary of me, He would have been tired of me long before now. If He had not loved me with a love as deep as hell and as strong as death, He would have turned from me long ago. But it is a joy above all joys to know that I am His.”

*nothing happens*

Me: *confidently dms someone*
