Quote

The Lord has often chosen to instruct His people in their times of trial.

The Lord expects us to enjoy our lives. He says there will be some brutal times, but we shouldn't get all bent out of shape about it.

The fact that the Lord can work and act even with insufficient means consoles me, and above all I entrust myself to your prayers.

We must be careful, as we seek to become more and more godlike, that we do not become discouraged and lose hope.

It is a most delightful reflection that if I come to the throne of God in prayer, I may feel a thousand defects, but yet there is hope. I usually feel more dissatisfied with my prayers than with anything else I do.

You can't get around pain and opposition, but you can try to be joyful in the trial, and thank yourself for the trial, and thank God for the strength to get through it.

Blessed is he that expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed.

God does say He will graciously entertain our prayers. He says that if we exercise faith, and if our request is in accordance with His will, He will hear us.

We must not sit still and look for miracles; up and doing, and the Lord will be with thee. Prayer and pains, through faith in Christ Jesus, will do anything.

Our trials, our sorrows, and our grieves develop us.
