There is no need to get to a place of prayer; pray wherever you are.
Whenever you get a blessing from God, give it back to Him as a love gift.
Our true character comes out in the way we pray.
An unguarded strength is a double weakness.
God gives us the vision, then he takes us down to the valley to batter us into the shape of the vision, and it is in the valley that so many of us faint and give way. Every vision will be made real if we will have patience.
It is misleading to imagine that we are developed in spite of our circumstances, for we are developed because of them. It is mastery in circumstances that is needed, not mastery over them.
