Can Jesus Christ see the agony of His soul in us? He can't unless we are so closely identified with Him that we have His view concerning the people for whom we pray. May we learn to intercede so wholeheartedly that Jesus Christ will be completely and overwhelmingly satisfied with us as intercessors.

When a man is at his wits' end it is not a cowardly thing to pray, it is the only way he can get in touch with Reality.

Prayer is the answer to every problem there is.

Happiness depends on what happens; joy does not.

We tend to use prayer as a last resort, but God wants it to be our first line of defense. We pray when there's nothing else we can do, but God wants us to pray before we do anything at all. Most of us would prefer, however, to spend our time doing something that will get immediate results. We don't want to wait for God to resolve matters in His good time because His idea of 'good time' is seldom in sync with ours.

Angels cannot preach the gospel, only beings such as Paul and you and I can preach the gospel.

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.
