Continuing the Tuesday Prayer series, this post follows quotes from Tom Wright and John Wimber. This week its the turn of Richard Foster, well known teacher and author. This quote comes from his book 'The Celebration of Discipline', which is loved by some but reviled by others.
Anyway, here it is;
“To pray is to change. Prayer is the central avenue God uses to transform us. If we are unwilling to change, we will abandon prayer as a noticeable characteristic of our lives. The closer we come to the heartbeat of God the more we see our need and the more we desire to be conformed to Christ”
What do you think? Do you agree? Would you add/replace preaching/worship/service? I think Foster gets something powerfully right here, and I like his emphasis on our desire to be conformed to Christ. But what about you? Let me know in the comments.
