Hold your eyes on God and leave the doing to him. That is all the doing you have to worry about.

The great method of prayer is to have none. If in going to prayer one can form in oneself a pure capacity for receiving the spirit of God, that will suffice for all method.

In prayer one must hold fast and never let go, because the one who gives up loses all. If it seems that no one is listening to you, then cry out even louder. If you are driven out of one door, go back in by the other.

Suffering borne in the will quietly and patiently is a continual, very powerful prayer before God.

Is there world enough for me?

... in this valley of tears we must expect much sorrow and little consolation.

Must you continue to be your own cross? No matter which way God leads you, you change everything into bitterness by constantly brooding over everything. For the love of God, replace all this self-scrutiny with a pure and simple glance at God's goodness.
