Many of us suffer from temptations from which we have no business to suffer.

When the darkness of dismay comes, endure until it is over, because out of it will come that following of Jesus which is an unspeakable joy.

We think rightly or wrongly about prayer according to the conception we have in our minds of prayer. If we think of prayer as the breath in our lungs and the blood from our hearts, we think rightly.

We are not always conscious of Jesus keeping us in perfect joint with God, but if we are obeying Him, He always is.
