Joszann St John
On prayer ~ Humility that energizes prayer!
"Humility holds in its keeping the very life of prayer. Neither pride nor vanity can pray.It is a positive quality, a substantial force that energies prayer….Humility springs from a lowly estimate of our-selves and our deserving. To be clothed with humility is to be clothed with a praying garment. Humility is realizing our unworthiness, the feeling and declaring of ourselves as sinners, because we are sinners. Kneeling suits us very well as the physical posture of prayer because it speaks of humility." - E.M.Bounds (The Power of Prayer)
