A day hemmed in prayer is less likely to unravel.

The Puritans were accustomed to explain faith by the word 'recumbency.' It meant leaning upon a thing. Lean with all your weight upon Christ. It would be a better illustration still if I said, fall at full length, and lie on the Rock of Ages.

We must do business in great waters; we must be really on the deck in a storm, if we would see the works of the Lord and His wonders in the deep. We must have stood side by side with King David; we must have gone down into the pit to slay the lion or have lifted up the spear against the eight hundred, if we would know the saving strength of God's right hand. Conflicts bring experience, and experience brings that growth in grace which is not to be attained by any other means.

There is no other salvation except that which begins and ends with grace.

A day hemmed in prayer is less likely to unravel.

God could not have given this promise, except from love and grace; therefore it is quite certain his Word will be fulfilled.

Prayer is the breath, the watchword, the comfort, the strength, the honor of a Christian.
