prayer praying ends
We do not pray at all until we are at our wits' end.
encouragement jesus blessing
A river reaches places which its source never knows. And Jesus said that if we have received His fullness, 'rivers of living water' will flow out from us, reaching in blessing even 'to the end of the earth' regardless of how small the visible effects of our lives may appear to be. We have nothing to do with the outflow . . . God rarely allows a person to see how great a blessing he is to others.
habit
Get into the habit of dealing with God about everything.
saint impossible difficulty
The saint is hilarious when he is crushed with difficulties because the thing is so ludicrously impossible to anyone but God.
faith christian prayer
Your god may be your little Christian habit - the habit of prayer or Bible reading at certain times of your day. Watch how your Father will upset your schedule if you begin to worship your habit instead of what the habit symbolizes. We say, 'I can't do that right now; this is my time alone with God.' No, this is your time alone with your habit.

God is patient with the process! Think of the enormous leisure of God! He is never in a hurry.

The great paralysis of our heart is unbelief.
christian prayer answers
Prayer is the answer to every problem there is.
jesus hypocrite reality
A hypocrite is one who plays two parts consciously for his own ends. When we find fault with other people we may be quite sincere, and yet Jesus says in reality we are frauds.
hands judging might
We have no right to judge where we should be put, or to have preconceived notions as to what God is fitting us for. God engineers everything; wherever He puts us, our one great aim is to pour out a whole-hearted devotion to Him in that particular work. 'Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might.'
yield birth christ
The characteristic of the new birth is that I yield myself so completely to God that Christ is formed in me.
