SO GOOD QUOTES

What prevents you then from making God a friend of yours, importuning Him through a boldness stemming from your long companionship with Him and from being always in contact with Him? Therefore, you should not feel ashamed to ask Him for anything for the sake of your loved ones and friends, at a suitable time and an unsuitable time, like a friend in the middle of the night, and even if your requests were strange and may appear impossible according to men’s understanding, and even if perhaps no one has ever asked for them before you did.

—H.E. Metropolitan Youssef, How to Pray
