Worry is like rocking in a rocking chair all day, because it keeps you busy but gets you nowhere.
Joyce MeyerRead
Our prayers are heard by God not according to what we try to be when we pray, but who we are when we are not praying
Interpretation
What this quote means
True spirituality is reflected in our daily lives, not just during moments of prayer.

It suggests that God values who we are at all times, challenging us to live in alignment with our spiritual beliefs consistently, rather than merely presenting a facade during prayer.

Early on in my life, I had a broken soul. I was abused by my father, abandoned by my mother and ended up in a destructive first marriage. By the time I was 23, I was broken in my soul. I didn't know how to think right. I felt wrong about everything. But God stepped into my life, and I came out on the other side and didn't even smell like smoke.
