“The only success that has been worth anything at all has followed closely on those morning hours which were begun with quiet prayer and silence.”

I have come to realize that success is not within my reach, but He is. He is within my reach. I used to define success by my performance and the results of that performance, but now I have come to understand that true success is about participation.

Rather than evaluating the quality of our performance we should evaluate the value of our participation.

Are we participating in this life or performing?
Are we participating in Him or performing for Him?
Who are you participating with today?

Prayer is the first step in participating in and with Him!
