Suppose you should fail. Is that so terrible? Not to have tried is a worse failure.
E. Stanley JonesWhen the Christian doesn't find joy on account of his happenings, he can always find joy in spite of them.
E. Stanley JonesWhen man listens, God speaks; when man obeys, God acts; when man prays, God empowers.
E. Stanley JonesPrayer 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.
