“The phrase all things in Romans 8:28 doesn’t mean all things that happen to us are good because they are not. It doesn’t mean everything that happens to us in this fallen world is God’s will because it’s not. However, it does mean God will use everything that happens to us—good or bad—to chip away at our characters and make us more like Jesus.” (Page 38)

“Praying is seeking God’s will and complying with it.” (Page 60)

“The word translated hallowed means ‘to make holy’ or ‘to make separate.’ It separates His name from what is common and ordinary.” (Page 28)

“If we are to have a ‘journey into powerful prayer,’ our first priority must be to make God’s name hallowed. Our second priority should be to pray for God’s kingdom to come. To know how to pray this petition properly, we must answer three questions: what is God’s kingdom, where is God’s kingdom, and how can we help bring God’s kingdom to earth.” (Page 32)

“The key to true, lasting happiness and purpose is finding God’s will or plan for our lives. In Jeremiah 29:11, God tells us about His plan for us. What is His plan for you?” (Page 37)
