Where sin has abounded in me, Grace now much more abounds in me. I live by that 'much more.'

Prayer means that the total you is praying. Your whole being reaches out to God, and God reaches down to you.

There are two ways to be rich - one in the abundance of your possessions and the other in the fewness of your wants.

The moral laws of the Universe are deeply embedded in the constitution of things. We do not break them - we break ourselves upon them.

Prayer is surrender--surr ender to the will of God and cooperation with that will. If I throw out a boathook from the boat and catch hold of the shore and pull, do I pull the shore to me, or do I pull myself to the shore? Prayer is not pulling God to my will, but the aligning of my will to the will of God.

We find, sooner or later, that in prayer we either abandon ourselves or we abandon prayer.

We are personalities in the making, limited, and grappling with things too high for us. Obviously we, at very best, will make many mistakes, but these mistakes need not be sins.
