The best we can say to God in prayer, is what He has said to us.
That which God plants he will take care to keep watered.
Our duty as Christians is always to keep heaven in our eye and earth under our feet.
Riches, in the hands of a man that is wise and generous, are good for something, but in the hands of a sordid, sneaking, covetous miser, they are good for nothing.
It is good for us to keep some account of our prayers, that we may not unsay them in our practice.
The true Christian hero will appear in the cause of Christ, not only when it is prevailing, but when it seems to be declining; (he) will be on the right side, though it be not the rising side.
