I am reading Grace Upon Grace by Dr. John Kleinig. It's an excellent book on spirituality and it's solid Lutheran. I am also leading a Moms In Touch type effort at my son's school for the coming school year. In preparing information on prayer for the families I found a thoroughly wonderful quote on prayer:“Prayer, then, is a gift of the triune God. When we pray, we engage with the three persons of the Holy Trinity. We pray to the Father; we pray together with the Son; and we pray by the power of the Holy Spirit. What we do when we pray depends entirely on what the Son gives us in His Word and on what the Spirit does with us through our faith in Christ. Our ability to pray does not come from us, but from faith in Jesus Christ and His Word, faith that receives the gift of prayer.”
