Believers keep up and maintain their walk with God by secret prayer. The spirit of grace is always accompanied with the spirit of supplication. It is the very breath of the new creature, the fan of the divine life, whereby the spark of holy fire, kindled in the soul by God, is not only kept in, but raised into a flame.

I began to read the Holy Scriptures upon my knees, laying aside all other books, and praying over, if possible, every line and word. This proved meat indeed and drink indeed to my soul. I daily received fresh life, light and power from above.

We can preach the Gospel of Christ no further than we have experienced the power of it in our own hearts

The Lord Jesus sits in heaven, ruling over all, and causing all things to work for his children's good.

Numberless marks does man bear in his soul, that he is fallen and estranged from God; but nothing gives a greater proof thereof, than that backwardness, which every one finds within himself, to the duty of praise and thanksgiving.

I am never better than when I am on the full stretch for God.

To preach more than half an hour, a man should be an angel himself or have angels for hearers.
