If we are abandoned to Jesus we have no ends of our own to serve.
We have to pray with our eyes on God, not on the difficulties.
Beware of the inclination to dictate to God what consequences you would allow as a condition of your obedience to Him.
It is impossible to conduct your life as a disciple without definite times of secret prayer
Nothing in our lives is a mere insignificant detail to God.
It is not the thing on which we spend the most time that moulds us, but the thing that exerts the greatest power. Five minutes with God and His Word is worth more than all the rest of the day.
