Prayer is not overcoming God’s reluctance. It is laying hold of God’s willingness.

Am I willing to go? – George Muller
When we ask God for a thing, such as that He would be pleased to raise up labourers for His harvest, or send means for the carrying on of His work, the honest question to be put to our hearts should be this: Am I willing to go, if He should call me? Am I willing to give according to my ability? For we may be the very persons whom the Lord will call for the work, or whose means He may wish to employ.

Read Through the Bible – George Müller
First of all, it is of the utmost moment that we read through the Scriptures. We ought not to turn over the Bible, and pick out chapters as we please here and there, but we should read it carefully and regularly through.

The Day I Died – George Müller
There was a day when I died, utterly died — died to George Müller, his opinions, preferences, tastes, and will; died to the world, its approval or censure; died to the approval or blame even of my brethren and friends — and since then I have only to show myself approved to God.

Reading the Bible with Increasing Joy – George Müller
I have read the Bible through a hundred times in order, and every time with increasing joy. Whenever I have started afresh it seemed like a new book to me.

Becoming Like the Lord – George Müller
It ill becomes the servant to seek to be rich, and great, and honoured in that world where his Lord was poor, and mean, and despised.

Faith That is Tried – George Müller
If we, indeed, desire our faith to be strengthened, we should not shrink from opportunities where our faith may be tried, and, therefore, through the trial, be strengthened.

Stand in the Hour of Trial – George Müller
Do but stand still in the hour of trial, and you will see the help of God, if you trust in Him. But there is so often a forsaking the ways of the Lord in the hour of trial, and thus the food of faith, the means whereby our faith may be increased, is lost.

Seeking God’s Direction and Will – George Müller
If no immediate choice has to be made, one should wait. The Lord orders our stops as well as our steps. When the time comes that a decision must be made, one can proceed in the direction that seems best. As you conscientiously seek His guidance, He will not let you make a wrong choice.
