You must learn to wrestle against the things that hinder your communication with God.

We are here for God's designs, not for our own

The path of peace for us is to hand ourselves over to God and ask Him to search us, not what we think we are, or what other people think we are, or what we persuade ourselves we are or would like to be, but 'Search me out, O God, explore me as I really am in Thy sight.'

Confidence in the natural world is self-reliance; in the spiritual world, it is God-reliance.

God plants His saints in the most useless places. We say, 'God intends me to be here because I am so useful.' Jesus never estimated His life along the line of the greatest use. God puts His saints where they will glorify Him, and we are no judge at all of where that is.

There is no joy in the soul that has forgotten what God prizes.

All our fret and worry is caused by calculating without God.
