"Thank the Lord for every errand that takes you to the throne of grace.
Whatever it is that sends you to prayer,
count it one of your choice blessings.
It may be a heavy cross, a painful trial, a pressing need;
it may be a broken cistern, a cold look, an unkind expression;
yet, if it leads you to prayer,
regard it as a mercy sent from God to your soul."
-Octavius Winslow
I was stressin' today and wishing things were flowing differently. Then I remembered reading this on a blog- and realized that in my frustration I had been praying way more than normal. "Whatever it is that sends you to prayer, count it one of your choice blessings". Yay for the sweet reminder... anything that makes me pray is something to be grateful for.
