A day hemmed in prayer is less likely to unravel.
Obedience is the highest practical courage.
Our hope in Christ for the future is the mainspring and the mainstay of our joy down here today.
The holiest of Christians, and those who understand best the gospel of Christ, find in themselves a constant inclination to look to the power of the creature, instead of looking to the power of God and the power of God alone.
They will never accept grace till they tremble before a just and holy law.
For a successful season of prayer, the best beginning is confession.
