Prayer at its highest is a two-way conversation - and for me the most important part is listening to God's replies.

If you are weary of some sleepy form of devotion, probably God is as weary of it as you are.

There is no defeat unless one loses God, and then all is defeat, though it be housed in castles and buried in fortunes.

I feel simply carried along each hour, doing my part in a plan which is far beyond myself. […] My part is to live this hour in continuous inner conversation with God and in perfect responsiveness to His will. This seems to be all I need to think about.

It is as much our duty to live in the beauty of the presence of God on some mount of transfiguration until we become white with Christ as it is for us to go down where the needy people grope and grovel, and groan and lift them to new life.

The Lord will not wish to count my trophies, but my scars.

The sense of being led by an unseen hand which takes mine, while another hand reaches ahead and prepares the way, grows upon me daily.
