Prayer cannot live by itself: it cannot be prayer unless it is fed by sacrifices

~a balanced prayer life is that of both prayer and sacrifices... both are equally important to each other. it's not enough to pray and pray and pray, you also have to work hard for your prayers. you have to put effort into your lifestyle and understand that life is not about prayer alone, there must be some action to accompany it. Prayer is good but without sacrifices it won't take you all the way. if you are truly devoted to your prayer life then you must be willing to give up things in life for the Lord. As the saying goes, "you can talk the talk, but can you walk the walk."

And Mary said, "yes," at that moment he came to her heart. What happened then?
She who was so small became great to let him live and love in her.

~the moment we invite the lord into our hearts great things can happen. We forget surely that in times of great strife and worries that nothing is impossible for our Lord. during times of great hardship we must totally put our faith into God, that we may overcome the biggest of obstacles. with our faith we can rise up to overcome and ride out the storms. doubt and hesitation will only hold one back, we must continously open our hearts to God when he comes knocking. Great things will come putting our faith in the Lord
