When a man says he must develop a holy life alone with God, he is of no more use to his fellow men: he puts himself on a pedestal, away from the common run of men.........If we are abandoned to Jesus, we have no ends of our own to serve.

God is my Father, He loves me, I shall never think of anything He will forget. Why should I worry?

If we are going to live as disciples of Jesus, we have to remember that all noble things are difficult.

We tend to use prayer as a last resort, but God wants it to be our first line of defense.

The nature of the spiritual life is that we are certain in our uncertainty.

Our Lord insists on the social aspect of our lives: He shows very distinctly that we cannot further ourselves alone.

God seems to have a delightful way of upsetting the things we have calculated on without taking Him into account. We get into circumstances which were not chosen by God, and suddenly we find we have been calculating without God; He has not entered in as a living factor. The one thing that keeps us from the possibility of worrying is bringing God in as the greatest factor in all our calculations.
