The Christian life is one of spiritual courage and determination lived out in our flesh

We must keep ourselves in touch, not with theories, but with people. We must never get out of touch with them if we are going to use the Word of God skillfully amongst them and if the Holy Spirit is to apply the Word of God through us.

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

We must get to the place of real solitude with Christ. He is our mountain-height and our sea-calm.

We imagine that whatever is unpleasant is our duty! Is that anything like the spirit of our Lord, "I *delight* to do Thy will, O My God.

Prayer is not getting things from God. That is a most initial stage; prayer is getting into perfect communion with God: I tell Him what I know He knows in order that I may get to know it as He does.

God never gives strength for tomorrow, or for the next hour, but only for the strain of the minute.
