God can make a new beginning with people whenever God pleases, but not people with God. Therefore, people cannot make a new beginning at all; they can only pray for one. Where people are on their own and live by their own devices, there is only the old, the past.

The more deeply we grow into the psalms and the more often we pray them as our own, the more simple and rich will our prayer become.

It matters little what form of prayer we adopt or how many words we use. What matters is the faith which lays hold on God, knowing that He knows our needs before we even ask Him. That is what gives Christian prayer its boundless confidence and its joyous certainty.

When our will wholeheartedly enters into the prayer of Christ, then we pray correctly.

Only he who gives thanks for the little things receives the big things.

We are to find God in what we know, not in what we don't know.

It is a blessed thing to know that no power on earth, no temptation, no human frailty can dissolve what God holds together.
