The lazy Christian has his mouth full of complaints, when the active Christian has his heart full of comforts.

Prayer is nothing but the breathing that out before the Lord, that was first breathed into us by the Spirit of the Lord.

There is no such way to get much grace, as to be thankful for a little grace. He who opens his mouth wide in praise, shall have his heart lled with graces. Ingratitude stops the ear of God, and shuts the hand of God, and turns away the heart of the God of grace; and therefore we had need to be thankful for a little grace.

When afflictions arrest us, we shall murmur and grumble and struggle until we see that it is God that strikes.

Satan promises the best, but pays with the worst; he promises honor, and pays with disgrace; he promises pleasure, and pays with pain; he promises profit, and pays with loss, he promises life, and pays with death. But God pays as he promises; all his payments are made in pure gold.

If God were not my friend, Satan would not be so much my enemy.

There is no little sin, because no little God to sin against.
