Nice book

Borrowed a book (Prayer is invading the impossible--jack w hayford) from PCC last night. mm, run through the first 2 chapters.. rather interesting..

A glance of the book...........

Business shipwrecked on rocks of ecomonic reversals.
Marriages with the love wrung out of them, and society asserting that divorce is the answer.
Medical reports silently screaming "Cancer".
Children exploding into unpredictable behavior patterns.
Bills towering above an overdrawn checkbook.
Jobs disappearing and unemployment offering a way to nowhere.
Long-term hope dissolved.
Constant pain from a physical problem that knows no reprieve.
Recurring frustration with a personal deficiency that can't be overcome.
Blockades on the highway to happiness.
Wondering what to do next.
Having tried anything and everyone.
Futility.
Face-to-Face with impossiblity-- or what seems like it.

Everybody comes here at some time. Some more frequently than others. Faith dims for all except the most rock-like saint. And at this point you are ready for an answer....

Ready, because you are desperate.
Ready, because you have tried everything else.
Ready, because your attention has been gained.
Ready, because there's actually nothing else you can do. At this point, you are ready to pray.

Pray?
Ready to Pray?

As an escape from reality?
As a flight into some kind of guesswork?
As an emotional release that doesn't change anything?
As a blind shot at hope with no idea where the target is?
NO.
But ready to pray truly.

To pray as an entrance into reality.
To pray as a trip with predestined certainity.
To pray as an experience of intelligently based peace.
To pray with the knowledge you are on target everytime.

The impossible faces us all.
It storms, fume, looms before us, stalks our days, presses upon our minds, bends our plans, stands formidably across our future, pierces our present, reaches out from our past.

but there's a way to face impossiblity.
Invade it!
Not with a glib speech of high hopes.
Not in anger.
Not with resignation.
Not through stoical self-control.
But with violence.
And prayer provides the vehicle for this kind of violence.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....... interesting, isn't it?
it did caught my attention to further reading..........

God.
Church.
Bible.
Jesus.
Prayer.

Most guess about the first,
get disguested with the second,
can't understand the third,
use the fourth to swear,
and then....
However ineffectively or imperfectly,
we all try the last one.

mmmm........... haha, i really enjoy this book... heehhe~~... will continue to read further on............
