About This Quote
The highest form of prayer is to the goodness of God. As humans, we cannot know the goodness and love of God and we cannot appease him with our prayers. However, we can cling to God and his goodness and trust in his unending love and mercy. He will always be there for you no matter what you go through or even how many times you fall down.
