God is nearer to us than our own spirit

It needeth us to have knowing of the littleness of creatures and to hold as nought all-thing that is made, for to love and have God that is unmade.

We need to fall, and we need to be aware of it; for if we did not fall, we should not know how weak and wretched we are of ourselves, nor should we know our Maker's marvellous love so fully.

For our soul is so preciously loved of him that is highest, that it over-passeth the knowing of all creatures.

...the goodness of God is the highest object of prayer and it reaches down to our lowest need.

Pray inwardly, even if you do not enjoy it. It does good, though you feel nothing. Yes, even though you think you are doing nothing.

Here saw I a great oneing betwixt Christ and us, to mine understanding: for when He was in pain, we were in pain.
