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

We look upon prayer simply as a means of getting things for ourselves, but the biblical purpose of prayer is that we may get to know God Himself.

The voice of the Spirit is as gentle as a zephyr, so gentle that unless you are living in perfect communion with God, you never hear it.

If ever we are going to be made into wine, we will have to be crushed; you cannot drink grapes. Grapes become wine only when they have been squeezed. I wonder what kind of finger and thumb God has been using to squeeze you, and you have been like a marble and escaped?

Prayer is an effort of will.

Many of us suffer from temptations from which we have no business to suffer.

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