Affirm and Acknowledge

All you do and say should reflect, affirm and acknowledge your values.
(The Christophers, Three Minutes A Day, Vol. 44, 21 October)

God Knows

... God knows what we need.
So we don't pray to God to remind him, we pray to God to remind ourselves.
The essence of prayer is choice.
Prayers help us refine and affirm what it is we want out of our lives.
God desires our growth as human beings.
Like any good parent, he doesn't spoil us by giving us what we want on a silver platter.

Principles

It is a lot easier to affirm one's belief in a principle than actually to live by it. (Harold S. Kushner, The Lord Is My Shepherd, p. 128) 11 March 2012
