Answered prayer is the interchange of love between the Father and His child.

The sooner I learn to forget myself in the desire that He may be glorified, the richer will be the blessing that prayer will bring to myself. No one ever loses by what he sacrifices to the Father.

Pride must die in you, or nothing of heaven can live in you.

The great thing in prayer is to feel that we are putting our supplications into the bosom of omnipotent love.

Humility is nothing but the disappearance of self in the vision that God is all.

Men sometimes speak as if humility and meekness would rob us of what is noble and bold and manlike. O that all would believe that this is the nobility of the kingdom of heaven, that this is the royal spirit that the King of heaven displayed, that this is Godlike, to humble oneself, to become the servant of all!

God cannot hear the prayers on our lips often because the desires of our heart after the world cry out to Him much more strongly and loudly than the our desires for Him.
