“Is prayer your steering wheel or your spare tire?” Corrie ten Boom

“Is prayer your steering wheel or your spare tire?” Corrie ten Boom

I am tempted to just use this quote and walk away. It is so short and yet so full that it is amazing, everything a good quote should be.

One thing it did make me think was that it reflects your outlook on life. Are you a ‘glass half empty’ or a ‘glass half full’ kind of person. I think they might go together. It is hard for me to imagine a ‘glass half empty’ person using prayer as a steering wheel….because that takes a positive outlook.

What do you think?

    What a life Corrie had. Read the book, saw the movie, and heard her speak in person. What a saint. Hiding Place really puts things into perspective. It magnifies the worst of humanity and the best of Christianity.

    Trying to be more of a “glass is half full” kind of person. Reminding myself daily of what I am grateful for and what I have to be thankful for helps me in that thought process. : )

    should have said “realize” in place of “know”. thanks for helping us think

    I love the quote. I am working on it being a steering wheel myself. I’m not always there, yet I’m glad for the spare tire. I just need to know it’s there.
