The best we can say to God in prayer, is what He has said to us.

Those, and those only, can expect to be taught by God, who are ready and willing to do as they are taught... Those who go up to the house of the Lord with an expectation that He will teach them His ways, must go with a humble resolution that they will walk in His paths.

Be careful if you make a women cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man’s ribs. Not from his feet to be walked on, not from his head to be superior, but from his side to be equal, under the arm to be protected, and next to the heart to be loved.

Scriptures were written, not to satisfy our curiosity and make us astronomers, but to lead us to God, and make us saints.

Sanctified afflictions are spiritual promotions.

Tears are a tribute to our deceased friends. When the body is sown, it must be watered. But we must not sorrow as those that have no hope; for we have a good hope through grace both concerning them and concerning ourselves.

...When we are waiting upon God to bless us, we should stir up ourselves to bless him.
