Before we engage ourselves in His work, let's meet Him in His Word... in prayer... in worship.

Delroy Lindo

In essence, there is only one thing God asks of us - that we be men and women of prayer, people for whom God is everything and for whom God is enough. That is the root of peace. We have that peace when the gracious God is all we seek. When we start seeking something besides Him, we lose it.
