father men decision
Father, make of me a crisis man. Bring those I contact to decision. Let me not be a milepost on a single road; make me a fork, that men must turn one way or another on facing Christ in me.
heart world lord
Always seek peace between your heart and God, but in this world, always be careful to remain ever-restless, never satisfied, and always abounding in the work of the Lord.
inspirational god faith
God always gives His best to those who leave the choice with him.
writing blessing thinking
It makes me boil when I think of the power we profess and the utter impotency of our action. Believers who know one-tenth as much as we do are doing one-hundred times more for God, with His blessing and our criticism. Oh if I could write it, preach it, say it, paint it, anything at all, if only God's power would become known among us.
giving weakness lord
Lord, give me firmness without hardness, steadfastness without dogmatism, love without weakness.
inspirational life motivational
Wherever you are - be all there.
knowing way life-is
Lord, make my way prosperous not that I achieve high station, but that my life be an exhibit to the value of knowing God.
forgive-me forgiving ordinary
Forgive me for being so ordinary while claiming to know so extraordinary a God.
giving desire sitting
Desire is the putting of my will into God’s concern. It’s not a passive, sitting back in your easy chair, folding your arms sort of thing, which says, 'Well, I’m willing, if God would only give me a good swift kick and send me.' That’s willingness all right. But God doesn’t want willingness, He wants will! He wants your will put behind those desires.
christian prayer religion
We are so utterly ordinary, so commonplace, while we profess to know a Power the Twentieth Century does not reckon with.... Oh that God would make us dangerous!
son men thinking
Live every day as if the Son of Man were at the door, and gear your thinking to the fleeting moment. Just how can it be redeemed? Walk as if the next step would carry you across the threshold of Heaven. Pray. That saint who advances on his knees never retreats.
short-life godly flames
He makes His ministers a flame of fire. Am I ignitible? God deliver me from the dread asbestos of 'other things.' Saturate me with the oil of the Spirit that I may be aflame. But flame is transient, often short lived. Canst thou bear this, my soul - short life? ... Make me thy fuel, Flame of God.
believe perfect bigger
The will of God is always a bigger thing than we bargain for, but we must believe that whatever it involves, it is good, acceptable and perfect.
inspirational moving command
Rest in this - it is His business to lead, command, impel, send, call... It is your business to obey, follow, move, respond...
