If we say we trust in Him, but in reality do not, then God, taking us at our word, lets us see that we do not really confide in Him, and hence failure arises.

Only a life of prayer and meditation will render a vessel ready for the Master's use.

Intimate knowledge of God is possible if we habitually search His Holy Scriptures & translate what we find into obedience.

if we hold fast our confidence in Him, but our faith is also, by the exercise, strengthened: and so it comes, that, if we walk with God in any measure of uprightness of heart, the trials of faith will be greater and greater.

The greater the trial, the sweeter the victory.

Never give up praying until the answer comes.

I desire many things concerning myself; but I desire nothing so much, as to have a heart filled with love to the Lord. I long for a warm personal attachment to Him.
