Mercy should make us ashamed, wrath afraid to sin.

Furnish thyself with arguments from the promises to enforce thy prayers, and make them prevalent with God. The promises are the ground of faith, and faith, when strengthened, will make thee fervent, and such fervency ever speeds and returns with victory out of the field of prayer. The mightier any is in the Word, the more mighty he will be in prayer.

When people do not mind what God speaks to them in His word, God doth as little mind what they say to Him in prayer.

Weak faith will as surely land the Christian in heaven as strong faith, for it is impossible the least dram of true grace should perish

All the plots of hell and commotions on earth have not so much as shaken God's hand to spoil one letter or line he has been drawing.

The Christian, like a chalice without a base, cannot stand on his own nor hold what he has received any longer that God holds him in His strong hands.

Christ will bear no equal, and Satan no superior; and therefore, hold in with both thou canst not.
