It is impossible to live the life of a disciple without definite times of secret prayer. You will find that the place to enter in is in your business, as you walk along the streets, in the ordinary ways of life, when no one dreams you are praying, and the reward comes openly, a revival here, a blessing there.

If we are going to live as disciples of Jesus, we have to remember that all noble things are difficult. The Christian life is gloriously difficult, but the difficulty of it does not make us faint and cave in, it rouses us up to overcome.

Prayer is an effort of will.

Spiritual lust causes me to demand an answer from God, instead of seeking God Himself who gives the answer.

Get alone with Jesus and either tell Him that you do not want sin to die out in you - or else tell Him that at all costs you want to be identified with His death.

One of the greatest strains in life is the strain of waiting for God.

The majority of us do not enthrone God, we enthrone common sense. We make our decisions and then ask the real God to bless our God's decision.
