"When we lose sight of God we become hard and dogmatic. We hurl our own petitions at God's throne and dictate to Him as to what we wish Him to do. We do not worship God, nor do we seek to form the mind of Christ. If we are hard towards God, we will become hard towards other people."

We don't want to wait for God to resolve matters in His good time because His idea of 'good time' is seldom in sync with ours."
