God, give me a deep humility, a well-guided zeal, a burning love and a single eye, and then let men or devils do their worst!

People want to recommend themselves to God by their sincerity; they think, 'If we do all we can, if we are but sincere, Jesus Christ will have mercy on us.'

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.

It is God alone who can subdue and govern the unruly wills of sinful men.
