Thomas Watson on Prayer

Christ was in an agony at prayer (Luke 22: 44). Many when they pray are rather in a lethargy, than in an agony. When they are about the world they are all fire; when they are at prayer, they are all Ice.

Unless God has raised you up for this very thing, you will be worn out by the opposition of men and devils. But if God be for you, who can be against you? Are all of them together stronger than God? O be not weary of well doing!

The school of life offers some difficult courses, but it is in the difficult class that one learns the most, especially when your teacher is the Lord Jesus Himself…No athlete complains when the training is hard. He thinks of the game, the race, and the prize.

The deepest need that you and I have in weakness and adversity is not quick relief, but the well-grounded confidence that what is happening to us is part of the greatest purpose of God in the universe – the glorification of the grace and power of his Son—the grace and power that bore Him to the cross and kept him there until the work of love was done.
