When God is about to do a great work, He pours out a spirit of supplication.

Religion, in its purity, is not so much a pursuit as a temper; or rather it is a temper, leading to the pursuit of all that is high and holy. Its foundation is faith; its action, works; its temper, holiness; its aim, obedience to God in improvement of self, and benevolence to men.
JONATHAN EDWARDS

Faith Foundation God Improvement Obedience Purity Pursuit Religion
The material universe exists only in the mind.
