Only A Life Of Prayer And Meditation

It Is True That The Faith, Which I Am Enabled To Exercise, Is Altogether God's Own Gift; It Is True That He Alone Supports It, And That He Alone Can Increase It; It Is True That, Moment By Moment, I Depend Upon Him For It, And That, If I Were Only One Moment Left To Myself, My Faith Would Utterly Fail.

Now What Is Food For The Inner Man? Not Prayer, But The Word Of God; And Here Again, Not The Simple Reading Of The Word Of God, So That It Only Passes Through Our Minds, Just As Water Passes Through A Pipe, But Considering What We Read, Pondering It Over And Applying It To Our Hearts.

When God Overcomes Our Difficulties For Us, We Have The Assurance That We Are Engaged In His Work And Not Our Own

At Last I Saw Christ As My Saviour. I Believed In Him And Gave Myself To Him. The Burden Rolled From Off Me, And A Great Love For Christ Filled My Soul. That Was More Than Fifty Years Ago. I Loved Jesus Christ Then, But I Loved Him More The Year After, And More The Year After That, And More Every Year Since.

The Greater The Difficulty To Be Overcome, The More Will It Be Seen To The Glory Of God How Much Can Be Done By Prayer And Faith.
