The author who benefits you most is not the one who tells you something you did not know before, but the one who gives expression to the truth that has been dumbly struggling in you for utterance.
One of the greatest strains in life is the strain of waiting for God.
Don't forget to pray today because God did not forget to wake you up this morning.
Patience opens the ear but shuts the mouth; it opens the ear to hear the rod but shuts the mouth that it has not a word to say against God.
Patience is a grace made and cut out for suffering; patience is a sweet submission to the will of God, whereby we are content to bear anything that He is pleased to lay upon us. Patience makes a Christian invincible; it is like the anvil that bears all strokes. We cannot be men without patience. Passion does unman a man; it puts him beside the use of reason. We cannot be martyrs without patience; patience makes us endure (James 5:10).
Patience is a quiet silent temper of soul, by which we submit to God in all our crosses.
God never gives us discernment in order that we may criticize, but that we may intercede.
Doubt is not always a sign that a man is wrong; it may be a sign that he is thinking.
Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you may not understand at the time.
Prayer does not fit us for the greater work; prayer is the greater work.
We have to pray with our eyes on God, not on the difficulties.
The remarkable thing about God is that when you fear God, you fear nothing else, whereas if you do not fear God, you fear everything else.
If through a broken heart God can bring His purposes to pass in the world, then thank Him for breaking your heart.
We tend to use prayer as a last resort, but God wants it to be our first line of defense. We pray when there's nothing else we can do, but God wants us to pray before we do anything at all.
Most of us would prefer, however, to spend our time doing something that will get immediate results. We don't want to wait for God to resolve matters in His good time because His idea of 'good time' is seldom in sync with ours.
Don't plan without God. God seems to have a delightful way of upsetting the plans we have made, when we have not taken Him into account.
