The greatest need we have is not to do things, but to believe things.

We must never put our dreams of success as God's purpose for us; His purpose may be exactly the opposite. His purpose is that I depend on HIM and in HIS power NOW. His end is the process. It is the process, not the end, which is glorifying to God....His purpose is for this minute, not for something in the future. We have nothing to do with the 'afterwards' of obedience. If we have a further end in view, we do not pay sufficient attention to the immediate present; if we realize that obedience is the end, then each moment as it comes is precious.

We have to pray with our eyes on God, not on the difficulties.

Prayer is God's answer to our poverty, not a power we exercise to obtain an answer.

Our Lord's conception of discipleship is not that we work for God, but that God works through us.

Faith never knows where it is being led, it knows and loves the One Who is leading. Faith is not resignation to a power we do not know; faith is committal to One Whose character we do know because it has been revealed to us in Jesus Christ.

One of the greatest strains in life is the strain of waiting for God.
