Prayer imparts the power to walk and not faint.

There is no condition of life in which we cannot abide in Jesus. We have to learn to abide in Him wherever we are placed.

Prayer is an effort of will.

Very few of us know anything about loyalty to Christ -- For My Sake. It is that which makes the iron saint.

Why shouldn’t we experience heartbreak? Through those doorways God is opening up ways of fellowship with His Son. Most of us collapse at the first grip of pain. We sit down at the door of God’s purpose and enter a slow death through self-pity. And all the so-called Christian sympathy of others helps us to our deathbed. But God will not. He comes with the grip of the pierced hand of His Son, as if to say, “Enter into fellowship with Me; arise and shine.” If God can accomplish His purposes in this world through a broken heart, then why not thank Him for breaking yours?

Am I always in contact with Reality, or do I only pray when things have gone wrong, when there is a disturbance in the moments of my life?

If we are abandoned to Jesus we have no ends of our own to serve.
