We hear it said that a man will suffer in his life is he does not pray; I question it. What will suffer is the life of the Son of God within him, which is nourished not by food but by prayer...Prayer is the way the life of God is nourished.

Am I becoming more and more in love with God as a holy God, or with the conception of an amiable Being who says, “Oh well, sin doesn’t matter much”?

It is perilously easy to have amazing sympathy with God's truth and remain in sin.

We pray pious blether, our will is not in it, and then we say God does not answer; we never asked Him for anything. Asking means that our wills are in what we ask.

Never take your obedience as the reason God blesses you; obedience is the outcome of being rightly related to God.

Prayer is simple, as simple as a child making known its wants to it parents.

When once you realize all that it cost God to forgive you, you will be held as in a vice, constrained by the love of God.
