We must learn to tell ourselves the truth on the basis of God’s Word.

Jesus Christ carries on intercession for us in heaven; the Holy Ghost carries on intercession in us on earth; and we the saints have to carry on intercession for all men.

Take care lest you play the hypocrite by spending all your time trying to get others right before you worship God yourself.

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.

Temptations in the life of faith are not accidents; each temptation is part of a plan, a step in the progress of faith.

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.

When someone thinks that to develop a holy life he must always be alone with God, he is no longer of any use to others.
