Prayer and Full Surrender

This is so sad. It's been a whoooollle month and some change since I've been on here. Lots and lots have been happening. Week 4 of school is upon us, and mer.cy.! But thankfully, week 4 is starting on an awesome note :) so Praise God. Anyways, so today I was reading E.M. Bounds on Prayer's "Prayer and Full Surrender" chapter. I honestly think sometimes that we are afraid fully surrender because of the power that God will bestow on us. Isn't that sad? Here are a few quotes that stood out to me: "Jesus learned obedience in the school of suffering. At the same time, He learned prayer in the school of obedience" (p. 163) "If the will of God does not master the life, the praying will be nothing but sickly sentiment. If payer does not inspire, sanctify, and direct our work, then self-will enters and ruins both the work and the worker" (p. 164). "Faith is the fruit of prayer" (p. 164) "The lack of obedience in our lives breaks down our pryaing. Quite often our lives are in rebellion. This places us where praying is almost impossible, except for pardoning mercy" (p. 165). E.M. BOUNDS ON PRAYER. GET THE BOOK!!!!!
