Beware in your prayers, above everything else, of limiting God, not only by unbelief, but by fancying that you know what He can do.

If I should neglect prayer but a single day, I should lose a great
deal of the fire of faith.
– Martin Luther –
Prayer meetings are dead affairs when they are merely asking sessions; there is adventure, hope, and life when they are believing sessions, and the faith is corporately, practically and deliberately affirmed.
– Norman Grubb –
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.
– George Müller –
from Answers to Prayer
Any great calamity in the natural world—death, disease, bereavement—will awaken a man when nothing else would, and he is never the same again. We would never know the “treasures of darkness” if we were always in the place of placid security.
– Oswald Chambers –
Every new act of sin requires a new act of faith and repentance (Isaiah 1:4, 16, 18).
– William Perkins –
Faith is the very shaping out of a man’s heart according to God’s device of salvation by Christ Jesus.
– William Guthrie –
from The Christians Great Interest, 1658
When God breaks into a life or a community, nothing else matters save the person of Jesus, the glory of Jesus, the name of Jesus.
– Stephen Olford –
Likewise today, some Christians are content to merely exist until they die. They don’t want to risk anything, to believe God, to grow or mature. They refuse to believe his Word, and have become hardened in their unbelief. Now they’re living just to die.
