When You Are In The Dark, Listen,

Faith By Its Very Nature Must Be Tried, And The Real Trial Of Faith Is Not That We Find It Difficult To Trust God, But That God's Character Has To Be Cleared In Our Own Minds. Faith In Its Actual Working Out Has To Go Through Spells Of Unsyllabled Isolation. Never Confound The Trial Of Faith With The Ordinary Discipline Of Life. Much That We Call The Trial Of Faith Is The Inevitable Result Of Being Alive.

Prayer Is The Vital Breath Of The Christian; Not The Thing That Makes Him Alive, But The Evidence That He Is Alive.

If You Have Had No Tension In Your Life, Never Been Screwed Up By Problems, Your Mortality Well Within Your Own Grasp, And Someone Tells You That God So Loved You That He Gave His Son To Die For You, Nothing But Good Manners Will Keep You From Being Amused.

Worship And Intercession Must Go Together, The One Is Impossible Without The Other. Intercession Means That We Rouse Ourselves Up To Get The Mind Of Christ About The One For Whom We Pray.

We Must Learn To Tell Ourselves The Truth On The Basis Of God’s Word.
