Jesus Christ carries on intercession for us in heaven; the Holy Ghost carries on intercession in us on earth; and we the saints have to carry on intercession for all men.
Never make the blunder of trying to forecast the way God is going to answer your prayer.
If for one whole day, quietly and determinedly, we were to give ourselves up to the ownership of Jesus and to obeying his orders, we should be amazed at its close to realize all he had packed into that one day.
As we go forth into the coming year, let it not be in the haste of impetuous, forgetful delight, nor with the quickness of impulsive thoughtlessness. But let us go out with the patient power of knowing that the God of Israel will go before us.

There is no need to get to a place of prayer; pray wherever you are.

Worship is giving God the best that He has given you.
I have to learn that the aim in life is God’s, not mine.
God does not exist to answer our prayers, but by our prayers we come to discern the mind of God.

We are in danger of forgetting that we cannot do what God does, and that God will not do what we can do.
Beware of reasoning about God’s Word – obey It.
It never cost a disciple anything to follow Jesus; to talk about cost when you are in love with anyone is an insult.
Service is the overflow which pours from a life filled with love and devotion.
If I obey Jesus Christ, the redemption of God will flow through me to the lives of others, because behind the deed of obedience is the reality of Almighty God.
