In reading Brett Baier's "Three Days in Moscow - Ronald Reagan and the Fall of the Soviet Union," I read this about the 40th President:
"One of his favorite quotes about prayer and the presidency was purported to have been said by Abraham Lincoln: 'I'm driven to my knees today in the overwhelming conviction that I don't have any place else to go'."
How true, right? Sometimes are problems are so big, our challenges so great that they feel they will overwhelm us. In stead of pacing the floor, why not go to your knees and pour out your heart to God. The Bible assures us He is listening.
