Souvenirs of Solitude Quotes

“Lord, when I feel that what I'm doing is insignificant and unimportant, help me to remember that everything I do is significant and important in your eyes, because you love me and you put me here, and no one else can do what I am doing in exactly the way I do it.”
― Brennan Manning, Souvenirs of Solitude: Finding Rest in Abba's Embrace

“Often people request prayers for deliverance, inner healing, or physical healing. But more frequently they simply want a man or woman to whom they can turn--not because of what this person is able to do but because of what he or she is: a person who makes them feel wanted, a friend to love them, one who generates an atmosphere of warmth and trust in which they are able to love in return.”

“Father, sometimes its the hardest thing in the world just to be still, stay close and let you love me. But because I am loved and I love, I try.
Here I am, Father. Still, for once. Closer than I've ever been. Waiting. Accepting. Wanting. Love me, Father.”
