God is the author of hope. I want to know God's thoughts...the rest are details.

Random Overthought: When it comes to gifts, people say it's the thought that counts. However, if you were to hand someone a picture of the gift saying on the back how much you enjoy it, the thought wouldn't count for much, now would it? The thought counts for a lot, as long as the gift is given/received too.

E. Stanley Jones described the effect of prayer on us like this:

Prayer is not pulling God to my will, but the aligning of my will to the will of God. Aligned to God's redemptive will, anything, everything can happen in character, conduct, and creativeness. The whole person is heightened by that prayer contact. In that contact I find health for my body, illumination for my mind, and moral and spiritual reinforcement for my soul. "Prayer is a time exposure to God," so I expose myself to God for an hour and a half or two hours a day, asking less and less for things and more and more for Himself. For having Him, I have everything. He gives me what I need for character, conduct, and creativeness, so I'm rich with His riches, strong in His strength, pure in His purity, and able in His ability.
