It is God’s will through His wonderful grace, that the prayers of His saints should be one of the great principal means of carrying on the designs of Christ’s kingdom in the world. When God has something very great to accomplish for His church, it is His will that there should precede it the extraordinary prayers of His people; as is manifest by Ezekiel 36:37. and it is revealed that, when God is about to accomplish great things for His church, He will begin by remarkably pouring out the spirit of grace and supplication (see Zechariah 12:10).

True liberty consists only in the power of doing what we ought to will, and in not being constrained to do what we ought not to will

Resolved to live with all my might while I do live, and as I shall wish I had done ten thousand years hence.

To mark all that I say in conversation, merely to beget in others, a good opinion of myself, and examine it.

When God is about to bestow some great blessing on His church, it is often His manner, in the first place, so to order things in His providence as to show His church their great need of it, and to bring them into distress for want of it, and so put them upon crying earnestly to Him for it.

Trust in God and ye need not fear.
