“Prayer brings you into God’s presence, where our shortcomings are exposed.”
― Timothy Keller, Prayer: Experiencing Awe and Intimacy with God

“While Moses had his frustrations, and perhaps some doubts, throughout his interactions with Pharaoh, Moses continued to believe and obey God despite what seemed like a series of triumphs on Pharaoh’s part. Moses trusted in the veracity of God’s words and he acted upon them. He not only believed God’s words at a cognitive level, he also believed them at the volitional level. He heard God’s word and he did God’s word.”
― Anthony Selvaggio, From Bondage to Liberty: The Gospel According to Moses

“Prayer is continuing a conversation that God has started through his Word and his grace, which eventually becomes a full encounter with him.”
― Timothy Keller, Prayer: Experiencing Awe and Intimacy with God

“Prayer, true prayer, does not allow us to deceive ourselves. It relaxes the tension of our self-inflation. It produces a clearness of spiritual vision. . . . It saps our self-deception and its Pharisaism. . . . So by prayer we acquire our true selves.”242”
