I have learnt that I am me, that I can do the things that, as one might put it, me can do, but I cannot do the things that me would like to do.

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.

When we say "Thy will be done," do we say it with a sigh? If so, we have never realized that the character of God is holy love; nothing can ever happen outside His purposeful will.

A saint realizes that it is God who engineers his circumstances; consequently there are no complaints, only unrestrained surrender to Jesus.

The one thing that remains is looking in the face of God for ourselves.

If you will receive yourself in the fires of sorrow, God will make you nourishment for other people.

Prayer is the exercise of drawing on the grace of God.
