About This Quote

It is only when we open ourselves up to God that He can transform us, change our hearts and change our lives. In order for that to happen, however, we must take the first step and allow God into our lives through prayer. Prayer is a bridge that connects us with God. Once we have established this bridge, He will transform our lives and change our hearts.
