Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you cannot understand at the time.

The battle of prayer is against two things in the earthlies: wandering thoughts and lack of intimacy with God's character as revealed in His word. Neither can be cured at once, but they can be cured by discipline.

When a man is at his wits' end it is not a cowardly thing to pray, it is the only way he can get in touch with Reality.

No matter who or what we are, God restores us to right standing with Himself only by means of the death of Jesus Christ.

The disciple is rich not in possessions, but in personal identity.

What hinders me from hearing is that I am taken up with other things. It is not that I will not hear God, but I am not devoted in the right place. I am devoted to things, to service, to convictions, and God may say what He likes but I do not hear Him.

See that you do not use the trick of prayer to cover up what you know you ought to do.
