Why pray? Evidently, God likes to be asked. God certainly does not need our wisdom or our knowledge, nor even the information contained in our prayers ("your Father knows what you need before you ask him"). But by inviting us into the partnership of creation, God also invites us into relationship. God is love, said the apostle John. God does not merely have love or feel love. God is love and cannot not love. As such, God yearns for relationship with the creatures made in his image.
— Philip Yancey

God has to be in charge of details if He is going to be in charge of the overall design.
— Elisabeth Elliot
Whoever is ashamed of marriage is also ashamed of being thought a man, or else he thinks that he can make himself better than God made him.
