But the things that we feel most deeply we ought to learn to be silent about, at least until we have talked them over thoroughly with God.

Cold prayers, like cold suitors, are seldom effective in their aims.

God never witholds from His child that which His love and wisdom call good. God's refusals are always merciful -- "severe mercies" at times but mercies all the same. God never denies us our hearts desire except to give us something better.

Teach me to treat all that comes to me with peace of soul and with firm conviction that Your will governs all.

The will of God is not something you add to your life. It’s a course you choose. You either line yourself up with the Son of God…or you capitulate to the principle which governs the rest of the world.

But the things that we feel most deeply we ought to learn to be silent about, at least until we have talked them over thoroughly with God.

You can never lose what you have offered to Christ.
