Pastoral Care Under the Cross Quotes

“Prayer is not a tool of faith by which we control His control over our lives. Rather, it is the conversation God began with us when He established a relationship with us in Baptism.”
― Richard C. Eyer, Pastoral Care Under the Cross: God in the Midst of Suffering

“To pray rightly 'Thy will be done' is to trust that God's intentions toward us are good and gracious. To pray for the will of God might be to ask ultimately for the opposite fo what we want and to trust that the unknown quantity of His intention is tempered by love for us.”
― Richard C. Eyer, Pastoral Care Under the Cross: God in the Midst of Suffering
