Paul E. Miller Quotes

Paul E. Miller quote from classy quote

God takes everyone he loves through a desert. It is his cure for our wandering hearts, restlessly searching for a new Eden... The best gift of the desert is God's presence... The protective love of the Shepherd gives me courage to face the interior journey.

~ Paul E. Miller

Paul E. Miller Desert God Prayer Restless

If you wait, your heavenly Father will pick you up, carry you out into the night, and make your life sparkle. He wants to dazzle you with the wonder of his love.

~ Paul E. Miller

Paul E. Miller God Prayer Story

Self-will and prayer are both ways of getting things done. At the center of self-will is me, carving a world in my image, but at the center of prayer is God, carving me in his Son's image.

~ Paul E. Miller

Paul E. Miller God Prayer Self Will

Everything you do is connected to who you are as a person and, in turn, creates the person you are becoming. Everything you do affects those you love. All of life is covenant.Imbedded in the idea of prayer is a richly textured view of the world where all of life is organized around invisible bonds or covenants that knit us together. Instead of a fixed world, we live in our Father's world, a world built for divine relationships between people where, because of the Good News, tragedies become comedies and hope is born.

~ Paul E. Miller

Paul E. Miller Covenant God Hope Prayer Story

God is a person, and his universe reflects his personhood. The closer something is to the character of God, the more it reflects him and the less it can be measured. Things such as integrity, beauty, hope, and love are all in the same category as prayer. You can tell their presence and even describe them, but you can't define them, simply because they are too close to God's image.

~ Paul E. Miller

Paul E. Miller Creation God Prayer

Prayer is asking God to incarnate, to get dirty in your life. Yes, the eternal God scrubs floors. For sure we know he washes feet. So take Jesus at his word. Ask him. Tell him what you want. Get dirty. Write out your prayer requests; don't mindlessly drift through life on the American narcotic of busyness. If you try to seize the day, the day will eventually break you. Seize the corner of his garment and don't let go until he blesses you. He will reshape the day.

~ Paul E. Miller

Paul E. Miller God Prayer Tenacity

When confronted with suffering that won't go away or with even a minor problem, we instinctively focus on what is missing,...not on the Master's hand. Often when you think everything has gone wrong, it's just that you're in the middle of a story. If you watch the stories God is weaving in your life, you... will begin to see the patterns. You'll become a poet, sensitive to your Father's voice.

~ Paul E. Miller

Paul E. Miller God Poet Prayer Story Suffering

As we wait and pray, God weaves his story and creates a wonder. Instead of drifting between comedy (denial) and tragedy (reality), we have a relationship with the living God, who is intimately involved with the details of our worlds. We are learning to watch for the story to unfold, to wait for the wonder.

~ Paul E. Miller

Paul E. Miller God Prayer Story Wonder

Prayer is a moment of incarnation - God with us. God involved in the details of my life.

~ Paul E. Miller

Paul E. Miller Incarnation Prayer

Prayer mirrors the gospel. In the gospel, the Father takes us as we are and gives us his gift of salvation. In prayer, the Father receives us as we are because of Jesus and gives us his gift of help.

~ Paul E. Miller

We have an allergic reaction to dependency, but this is the state of the heart most necessary for a praying life. A need heart is a praying heart. Dependency is the heartbeat of prayer.

~ Paul E. Miller

We don't know how bad we are until we try to be good. Nothing exposes our selfishness and spiritual pwerlessness like prayer.

~ Paul E. Miller

The kingdom comes when Jesus becomes king of your life. But it has to be your life.

In order to pray like a child, you might need to unlearn the nonpersonal, nonreal praying that you've been taught.

~ Paul E. Miller

Paul E. Miller Prayer

...Jesus opens his arms to his needy children and says, Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest(Matthew 11:28, NASB). The criteria for coming to Jesus is weariness. Come overwhelmed with life. Come with you wandering mind. Come messy.

~ Paul E. Miller

Learning to pray doesn't offer us a less busy life, it offersus aless busy heart.
