Spiritual lust--'I must have it at once'--causes me to demand an answer from God, instead of seeking God himself who gives the answer. Is today 'the third day' and He has still not done what I expected? Whenever we insist that God should give us an answer to prayer we are off track. The purpose of prayer is that we get a hold of God, not of the answer.

Every man is made to reach out beyond his grasp.

The one true mark of a saint of God is the inner creativity that flows from being totally surrendered to Jesus Christ.

Intercession means raising ourselves up to the point of getting the mind of Christ regarding the person for whom we are praying.

Live in a constant state of expectancy, and leave room for God to come in as He decides.

It is by no haphazard chance that in every age men have risen early to pray. The first thing that marks decline in spiritual life is our relationship to the early morning.

The knowledge that God has loved me beyond all limits will compel me to go into the world to love others in the same way.
