If you feel sincerely sorry on account of your sins, and believe that Christ is able and willing to forgive you, the work is done. You may trust with all the confidence of a child who confesses his fault, and casts himself into his father's arms. This is faith; a simple trust in the power and willingness of the Father to forgive, for the sake of what Christ the Son has done.

Patience and perseverance are never more thoroughly Christian graces than when features of prayer.

God is the only sure foundation on which the mind can rest.

Recreation is not the highest kind of enjoyment, but in its time and place is quite as proper as prayer.

Happy are they who freely mingle prayer and toil till God responds to the one and rewards the other.
