Charles R. Swindoll Quotes

I talk to God every day. He's very real for me.

Me and God has a good relationship.

Mine is just a simple old human story - of one person trying, with great rigor and discipline, to comprehend her personal relationship with divinity.

Give yourself entirely to God, enter and hide in the hidden ground of your soul.

Aloneness is nearer God, nearer reality.

One of the values of centering prayer is that you are not thinking about God during the time of centering prayer so you are giving God a chance to manifest. In centering prayer there are moments of peace that give the psyche a chance to realize that God may not be so bad after all. God has a chance to be himself for a change.

The best place to find God is in a garden. You can dig for him there.

My own personal connection with God was not in a religious sense, so I wasn't really thinking in that way when I got the role and when I started doing it.
