  9. Henri Nouwen: “It is a mystery that the heart, which is the center of our being, is being transformed by God into His own heart, a heart large enough to embrace the entire universe. Through prayer we can carry in our heart all human pain and sorrow, all conflicts and agonies, all hunger, loneliness and misery, not because of some great psychological or emotional capacity, but because God’s heart has become one with ours.”

  10. Mobilize prayer for unreached peoples of your nation and region • Free God’s hand to bring change. Richard Foster: “Prayer refuses to stay on the fringes of life’s great issues. It dares to believe that things can be different. Its aim is the total transformation of persons, institutions, and societies. Radical Prayer, you see, is prophetic.”
