Faith

In Prayer – Andrew Murray

In prayer we become conscious of our lack of faith.

– Andrew Murray –
from Teach Me to Pray

An active faith can give thanks for a promise, though it is not as yet performed, knowing that God’s bonds are as good as ready money.

– Matthew Henry –

The prayer that begins with trustfulness, and passes on into waiting, will always end in thankfulness, triumph, and praise.

– Alexander MacLaren –
1826-1910

True faith may sometimes be found where it might have been least expected.

– JC Ryle –
from Expository Thoughts on the Gospels, 1856

If we cannot believe God when circumstances seem to be against us, we do not believe Him at all.

– Charles Spurgeon –

The faith that has not a sanctifying influence on the character is no better than the faith of devils.

– JC Ryle –

Faith is not jumping to conclusions. It is concluding to jump.

– WT Purkiser –

[God] wants you to have something far better than riches and gold, and that is helpless dependence upon Him.

– Hudson Taylor –

Faith is more than thinking something is true. Faith is thinking something is true to the extent that we act on it.

– WT Purkiser –
