Artist: Gerard Menzel
I've admired Frederick Buechner for a long time but only today have I come across this:
According to Jesus, by far the most important thing about praying is to keep at it... Be importunate, Jesus says -- not, one assumes, because you have to beat a path to God's door before he'll open it, but because until you beat the path maybe there's no way of getting to your door.
That's a great quotation. I'm currently using a daily devotional of Buechner's writings, but I hadn't come across that one.
