Don't forget to pray today because God did not forget to wake you up this morning.

If God sees that my spiritual life will be furthered by giving the things for which I ask, then He will give them, but that is not the end of prayer. The end of prayer is that I come to know God Himself.

We are apt to think that everything that happens to us is to be turned into useful teaching; it is to be turned into something better than teaching, into character. We shall find that the spheres God brings us into are not meant to teach us something but to make us something.

It is not true to say that God wants to teach us something in our trials. Through every cloud He brings our way, He wants us to unlearn something.

We must learn to tell ourselves the truth on the basis of God’s Word.

When we touch the foundation of the reality of the good news of God, we will never bother Him anymore with little personal complaints.

If a man cannot prove his religion in the valley, it is not worth anything.
