God brings you to places, among people, and into certain conditions to accomplish a definite purpose through the intercession of the Spirit in you. Your part in intercessory prayer is not to agonize over how to intercede, but to use the everyday circumstances and people God puts around you by His providence to bring them before His throne, and to allow the Spirit in you the opportunity to intercede for them. In this way God is going to touch the whole world with His saints.

The saint is hilarious when he is crushed with difficulties because the thing is so ludicrously impossible to anyone but God.

Which are the people who have influenced us most? Not the ones who thought they did, but those who had not the remotest notion that they were influencing us. In the Christian life, the implicit is never conscious, if it is conscious it ceases to have this unaffected loveliness which is the characteristic of the touch of Jesus. We always know when Jesus is at work because He produces in the commonplace something that is inspiring.

Trust God, and do the next thing.

If you will receive yourself in the fires of sorrow, God will make you nourishment for other people.

The peace that Jesus gives is never engineered by circumstances on the outside.

God never gives strength for tomorrow, or for the next hour, but only for the strain of the minute.
