We have taught our people to use prayer too much as a means of comfort – not in the original and heroic sense of uplifting, inspiring, strengthening, but in the more modern and baser sense of soothing sorrow, dulling pain, and drying tears – the comfort of the cushion, not the comfort of the Cross.
~ G. A. Studdert Kennedy (1883-1929)
The Comfort of The Cross
A Prayer Life 
Jesus in the garden did not ask for comfort He asked for strength to finish the Will of His Father. We in our day have made prayer more about us than Him…
