The Day of Change
Bethesda (beth-ez’-dah) = House of mercy; place of the flowing of water.
What an odd question, “Are you willing to be made whole?”
This is who I am, this is your destination in me - total victory!
Your situation is NOT your destination!

Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars.
You have to let go at some point in order to move forward.
C.S. Lewis
You must be made whole to move on.
To say that “prayer changes things” is not as close to the truth as saying, “Prayer changes me and then I change things.”
God has established things so that prayer, on the basis of redemption, changes the way a person looks at things.
Prayer is not a matter of changing things externally, but one of working miracles in a person’s inner nature.
"To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing."
It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg.
We are like eggs at present.
And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg.
We must be hatched or go bad.
“Mere Christianity”
Ask God to show you your purpose, for purpose is the great sanctifier of all things.
“PD”
"Is prayer your steering wheel or your spare tire?"
