With His great infinite heart He loves me. It is a conquering thought; it utterly overcomes us and crushes us with its weight of joy; it bows us to the ground and casts us into a swoon of ecstasy.
– Charles Spurgeon

We should cultivate the habit of pleading promises in our prayers.
This is the holy reasoning of love; it draws no license from grace, but rather feels the strong constraints of gratitude leading it to holiness.
True contentment is not circumstantial, it is relational. It is not based on what happens to us; rather, it is based on who has taken hold of us – the One who dwells within us.
Time may be short, but time is always long enough for prayer.
Would you know who is the greatest saint in the world: It is not he who prays most or fasts most, it is not he who gives most alms or is most eminent for temperance, chastity or justice; but it is he who is always thankful to God, who wills everything that God wills, who receives everything as an instance of God’s goodness and has a heart always ready to praise God for it.
Prayer is the surest remedy against the devil and besetting sins.
