The measure of the worth of our public activity for God is the private profound communion we have with Him...
God rarely allows a person to see how great a blessing he is to others.
To be obsessed by God is to have an effective barricade against all the assaults of the enemy.
If we think of prayer as the breath of our lungs and the blood from our hearts, we think rightly. The blood flows and the breathing continues – we are not conscious of it but it is always going on.
Prayer is simple, prayer is supernatural, and to anyone not related to our Lord Jesus Christ, prayer is apt to look stupid.
The greatest competitor of devotion to Jesus is service for Him.
Trust God, and do the next thing.
God is the Great Engineer, creating circumstances to bring about moments in our lives of divine importance, leading us to divine appointments.
Prayer is not logical, it is a mysterious moral working of the Holy Spirit.
Our prayers are heard, not because we are in earnest, not because we suffer, but because Jesus suffered.
Our true character comes out in the way we pray.
Prayer is the vital breath of the Christian; not the thing that makes him alive, but the evidence that he is alive.
Dreaming about a thing in order to do it properly is right; but dreaming about it when we should be doing it is wrong.
Fretting springs from a determination to get our own way.
There is nothing to be valued more highly than to have people praying for us; God links up His power in answer to their prayers.
The battle of prayer is against two things in the earthlies: wandering thoughts and lack of intimacy with God’s character as revealed in His word. Neither can be cured at once, but they can be cured by discipline.
Eternal life is not a gift from God; eternal life is the gift OF GOD.
God’s “nothings” are His most positive answers. We have to stay on God and wait. Never try to help God to fulfill His word.
The purpose of prayer is to reveal the presence of God equally present, all the time, in every condition.
Prayer is an effort of will.
