In these days there is not time to pray; but without time, and a lot of it, we shall never learn to pray. It ought to be possible to give God one hour out of twenty-four all to Himself.

Jesus is the Victor! – Basilea Schlink
Do not be lazy. Run each day’s race with all your might, so that at the end you will receive the victory wreath from God. Keep on running even when you have had a fall. The victory wreath is won by him who does not stay down, but always gets up again, grasps the banner of faith and keeps on running in the assurance that Jesus is Victor.
– Basilea Schlink –
What Hinders You From Hearing God’s Voice? – Andrew Murray
Nothing so effectually hinders hearing God’s voice as opening the heart too much to other voices. A heart too deeply interested in the news, the literature, and the society of this world cannot hear the divine voice. It needs stillness, retirement, and concentration to give God the heed He claims.
– Andrew Murray –
My Time in Prayer – George Whitefield

Spend Hours Alone with God – Oswald J. Smith
I am perfectly confident that the man who does not spend hours alone with God will never know the anointing of the Holy Spirit.
– Oswald J. Smith –
Fear of God is Wisdom – Thomas Watson
The fear of God is wisdom in that it makes us consider: “I considered my ways” (Psalm 119:59). A great part of wisdom lies in consideration. He who fears God considers how vain the world is, and therefore dares not love it; how short time is, and therefore dares not lose it; how precious salvation is, and therefore dares not neglect it.
– Thomas Watson –
from The Great Gain of Godliness, 1682
Consume My Life Oh God – Jim Elliot
Consume my life, my God, for it is Thine. I seek not a long life, but a full one, like You, Lord Jesus.

Get Your Heart in Tune for Prayer – Robert Murray M’Cheyne
A great part of my time is spent in getting my heart in tune for prayer. It is the link that connects earth with heaven.

Too Busy? – AB Christiansen
Too busy; O forgive, Dear Lord, that I should ever be, too much engrossed in earthly tasks, to spend an hour with thee.
