All the prayers in the Scripture you will find to be reasoning with God, not a multitude of words heaped together.

The little time that remains between this moment and our death, should quicken our diligence to inherit the endless and unchangeable eternity of God.

In regard of God, patience is a submission to His sovereignty. To endure a trial, simply because we cannot avoid or resist it, is not Christian patience.

Pride is self contending with God for preeminence.
