Thou art beaten that thou mayest be better.

To go back is nothing but death; but to go forward is fear of death and life everlasting beyond.

I have often thought that the best Christians are found in the worst of times.

In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart.

To pray rightly, you must make God your hope, stay, and all. Right prayer sees nothing substantial or worth being concerned about except God.

It is not the mouth that is the main thing to be looked at in prayer, but whether the heart is so full of affection and earnestness in prayer with God, that it is impossible to express their sense and desire; for then a man desires indeed, when his desires are so strong, many, and mighty, that all the words, tears, and groans that can come from the heart, cannot utter them.

Prayer is an ordinance of God, that must continue with a soul so long as it is on this side glory.
