Look not to yourselves! You are by nature wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked. Look simply unto Jesus.

Oh, dear friend, if you love your children, I charge you, do not let the early impression of a habit of prayer slip by. If you train your children to do anything, train them, at least, to have a habit of prayer.
