Angle Quote by Frank Laubach

“Our mind is a flowing something. It oscillates. Concentration is merely the continuous return to the same problem from a million angles… So my problem is this: Can I bring the Lord back in my mind-flow every few seconds so that God shall always be in my mind?” quote by Frank Laubach
