The Christian must trust in a withdrawing God.

How can God stoop lower than to come and dwell with a poor humble soul? Which is more than if he had said, such a one should dwell with him; for a beggar to live at court is not so much as the king to dwell with him in his cottage.

The Christian in prayer comes up close to God, with a humble boldness of faith, and takes hold of him, wrestles with him; yea, will not let him go without a blessing... They are only a few noble-spirited souls, who dare take heaven by force, that are fit for this calling.

Justifying faith is not a naked assent to the truths of the gospel.

Of all creatures in this visible world, light is the most glorious; of all light, the light of the sun without compare excels the rest.

The mightier any is in the word, the more mighty he will be in prayer.

The storm may be tempestuous, but it is only temporary.
