Edward McKendree (E. M.) Bounds

No man can do a great and enduring work for God who is not a man of prayer, and no man can be a man of prayer who does not give much time to praying.

Matthew Henry

He that is in haste may contract much guilt in a little time. What we say or do unadvisedly when we are hot, we must unsay or undo again when we are cool, or do worse.

A. W. Tozer

Spell this out in capital letters: THE Holy Spirit IS A PERSON. He is not enthusiasm. He is not courage. He is not energy. He is not the personification of all good qualities, like Jack Frost is the personification of cold weather. Actually, the Holy Spirit is not the personification of anything...... He has individuality. He is one being and not another. He has will and intelligence. He has hearing. He has knowledge and sympathy and ability to love and see and think. He can hear, speak, desire, grieve and rejoice. He is a Person.

We must wake ourselves up! Or somebody else will take our place, and bear our cross, and thereby rob us of our crown.

George McDonald

As no scripture is of private interpretation, so is there no feeling in a human heart which exists in that heart alone -- which is not, in some form or degree, in every human heart.

Evan Roberts

The feeling of need and not the force of habit will make thee a sincere suppliant.

Sadhu Sundar Singh

Prayer is continual abandonment to God.

T. T. Munger

The soil moist with tears best feeds the seeds of truth!

John Bunyan

Sincerity is the same in a corner alone, as it is before the face of the world. It knows not how to wear two vizards, one for an appearance before men, and another for a short snatch in a corner; but it must have God, and be with him in the duty of prayer. It is not lip-labour that it doth regard, for it is the heart that God looks at, and that which sincerity looks at, and that which prayer comes from, if it be that prayer which is accompanied with sincerity

Mondays are my writing days. Lately, Mondays are also the days where I seem to get the most calls, emails, and texts that need immediate attention. Isn’t that always the way? I have a choice to make. I can take those calls and emails, deal with them swiftly and return to my writing or I can ignore those calls and be distracted by a nagging sense of guilt that I am not obeying the Lord’s promptings. I’d rather live guilt free with a few distractions along the way, even if it’s not at my convenience. What about you?
