Prayer should be the means by which I, at all times, receive all that I need, and, for this reason, be my daily refuge, my daily consolation, my daily joy, my source of rich and inexhaustible joy in life.

– O. Hallesby –
from Prayer

All of my need He freely supplieth,
Day after day His goodness I prove;
Mercies unfailing, new every morning,
Tell me of God’s unchanging love.

– Thomas Chisholm –
from the hymn He Supplieth All of My Need

I have cast my anchor in the port of peace, knowing that present and future are in nail-pierced hands.

He who lives without prayer – he who lives with little prayer – he who seldom reads the Word – he who seldom looks up to heaven for a fresh influence from on high – he will be the man whose heart will become dry and barren; but he who calls in secret on his God – who spends much time in holy retirement – who delights to meditate on the words of the Most High – whose soul is given up to Christ – such a man must have an overflowing heart; and as his heart is, such will his life be.

Do you desire to subdue sin?  Would you be holy?  Would you imitate your Master?  Do you desire to rise to superlative heights of spirituality?  Are you wanting to be made like the angels of God, full of zeal and ardor for the Master’s cause?  You cannot without the Spirit: “Without Me you can do nothing.”  Oh branch of the vine, you can have no fruit without the sap!  Oh child of God, you have no life within you apart from the life which God gives you through His Spirit!

You say grace before meals. All right. But I say grace before the concert and the opera, and grace before the play and pantomime, and grace before I open a book, and grace before sketching, painting, swimming, fencing, boxing, walking, playing, dancing and grace before I dip the pen in the ink.

The first thing for our soul’s health, the first thing for His glory, and the first thing for our own usefulness, is to keep ourselves in perpetual communion with the Lord Jesus…
