Devotion Signifies a Devoted Life to God – William Law
Devotion signifies a life given, or devoted to God. He therefore is the devout man, who lives no longer to his own will, or the way and spirit of the world, but to the sole will of God, who considers God in everything, who serves God in everything, who makes all the parts of his common life, parts of piety, by doing everything in the name of God, and under such rules as are conformable to his Glory.

Examining Your Walk – David Wilkerson
Examining your walk with Christ means looking not so much at what you are doing, as at what you are becoming. Such a walk cannot be achieved by human effort alone. It wont happen by self-determination, merely saying, I am going to become that kind of believer. Rather, it happens by the work of the Holy Spirit, through faith in his Word.
– David Wilkerson –
Desperate Need Of Christ – Elizabeth Elliot
The older I get, the more I am aware of my desperate need of Christ Himself. I want to listen and learn and glorify Him

Praying With Precision – Charles Spurgeon
There is a general kind of praying which fails for lack of precision. It is as if a regiment of soldiers should all fire off their guns anywhere. Possibly somebody would be killed, but the majority of the enemy would be missed
– Charles Spurgeon –
Experience Power of Prayer – Martin Luther
No one can believe how powerful prayer is and what it can effect, except those who have learned it by experience. Whenever I have prayed earnestly, I have been heard and have obtained more than I prayed for. God sometimes delays, but He always comes.
– Martin Luther –
