Some prayers are like a fire escape, used only in times of critical emergency – never very enjoyable, but used as a way of terrified escape from disaster.
(A. W. Tozer)
"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be upon his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."
Isaiah 9: 6
