Prayer is simple, prayer is supernatural, and to anyone not related to our Lord Jesus Christ, prayer is apt to look stupid.

Every element of our own self-reliance must be put to death by the power of God.

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

Depression tends to turn us away from the everyday things of God’s creation. But whenever God steps in, His inspiration is to do the most natural, simple things- things we would never have imagined God was in, but as we do them we find Him there.

Our Lord never referred to unanswered prayer. He taught that prayers are always answered: “Everyone who asks receives”. And He implied that prayers are answered rightly because of the heavenly Father's wisdom: “Your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him”.

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