Faith by its very nature must be tried, and the real trial of faith is not that we find it difficult to trust God, but that God's character has to be cleared in our own minds. Faith in its actual working out has to go through spells of unsyllabled isolation. Never confound the trial of faith with the ordinary discipline of life. Much that we call the trial of faith is the inevitable result of being alive.

Prayer is not logical, it is a mysterious moral working of the Holy Spirit.

Have you ever sought God with your whole heart, or have you simply given Him a feeble cry after some emotionally painful experience?

Don't plan without God. God seems to have a delightful way of upsetting the plans we have made, when we have not taken Him into account.

God does not give us overcoming life; He gives us life as we overcome.

When God gives us a vision, we must transact business with Him at that point, no matter what the cost.

In times of prosperity we are apt to forget God; we imagine it does not matter whether we recognise Him or not. As long as we are comfortably clothed and fed and looked after, our civilisation becomes an elaborate means of ignoring God.
