Prayer Is Not Getting Things From God.

God Never Forces A Person's Will Into Surrender, And He Never Begs. He Patiently Waits Until That Person Willingly Yields To Him. True Surrender Is A Matter Of Being 'united Together [with Jesus] In The Likeness Of His Death' (romans 6:5) Until Nothing Ever Appeals To You That Did Not Appeal To Him. And After You Surrender--then What? Your Entire Life Should Be Characterized By An Eagerness To Maintain Unbroken Fellowship And Oneness With God.

A Good Book, In The Language Of The Book-sellers, Is A Salable One; In That Of The Curious, A Scarce One; In That Of Men Of Sense, A Useful And Instructive One.

To Say That 'prayer Changes Things' Is Not As Close To The Truth As Saying, 'prayer Changes Me And Then I Change Things.' God Has Established Things So That Prayer, On The Basis Of Redemption, Changes The Way A Person Looks At Things.

We Have To Pray With Our Eyes On God, Not On The Difficulties.

There Is Only One Relationship That Matters, And That Is Your Personal Relationship To A Personal Redeemer And Lord. Let Everything Else Go, But Maintain That At All Cost, And God Will Fulfill His Purpose Through Your Life. (this Includes Meeting The Needs Of Your Heart.) One Individual Life May Be Of Priceless Value To God's Purposes, And Yours May Be That Life.
