If God allows you to be stripped of the exterior portions of your life, He means for you to cultivate the interior

If through a broken heart God can bring His purposes to pass in the world, then thank Him for breaking your heart.

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

When you fear God you fear nothing else!

Prayer is the practice of drawing on the grace of God. Don't say, "I will endure this until I can get away and pray." Pray now - draw on the grace of God in your moment of need. Prayer is the most normal and useful thing; it is not simply a reflex action of your devotion to God. We are very slow to learn to draw on God's grace through prayer.

There is nothing to be valued more highly than to have people praying for us; God links up His power in answer to their prayers.

Many people have turned back because they are afraid to look at things from God's perspective. The greatest spiritual crisis comes when a person has to move a little farther on in his faith than the beliefs he has already accepted.
