Philip Yancey said this quote

We need faith and the mind of the Lord Jesus to recognize something of lasting value in even our most ordinary tasks.

~ Philip Yancey

Prayer is not a means of removing the unknown and predictable elements in life, but rather a way of including the unknown and unpredictable in the outworking of the grace of God in our lives.

~ Philip Yancey

God formed an alliance based on the world as it is, full of flaws, whereas prayer calls God to account for the world as it should be.

~ Philip Yancey

Change came from below, as it usually does, rather than being imposed from above.

~ Philip Yancey
