The way from God to a human heart is through a human heart.

Prayer does not influence God. Prayer surely does influence God. It does not influence His purpose. It does influence His action.

Prayer wonderfully clears the vision; steadies the nerves; defines duty; stiffens the purpose; sweetens and strengthens the spirit.

The way from God to a human heart is through a human heart.

Prayer strikes the winning blow; service is simply picking up the pieces.

If there be anything that can render the soul calm, dissipate its scruples and dispel its fears, sweeten its sufferings by the anointing of love, impart strength to all its actions, and spread abroad the joy of the Holy Spirit in its countenance and words, it is this simple and childlike repose in the arms of God.

Faith is blind...to impossibilities and deaf to doubt. It listens only to God.
