Prayer Is The Way The Life Of

When A Man’s Heart Is Right With God The Mysterious Utterances Of The Bible Are Spirit And Life To Him. Spiritual Truth Is Discernible Only To A Pure Heart, Not To A Keen Intellect. It Is Not A Question Of Profundity Of Intellect, But Of Purity Of Heart.

We Are Not Built For The Mountains And The Dawns And Aesthetic Affinities, Those Are For Moments Of Inspiration, That Is All. We Are Built For The Valley, For The Ordinary Stuff We Are In, And That Is Where We Have To Prove Our Mettle. Spiritual Selfishness Always Wants Repeated Moments On The Mount. We Feel We Could Talk Like Angels And Live Like Angels, If Only We Could Stay On The Mount. The Times Of Exaltation Are Exceptional, They Have Their Meaning In Our Life With God, But We Must Beware Lest Our Spiritual Selfishness Wants To Make Them The Only Time.

Have You Ever Sought God With Your Whole Heart, Or Have You Simply Given Him A Feeble Cry After Some Emotionally Painful Experience?

Whenever The Insistence Is On The Point That God Answers Prayer, We Are Off The Track. The Meaning Of Prayer Is That We Get Hold Of God, Not Of The Answer.

Watch Human Nature; We Are So Built That If We Do Not Get Thrilled In The Right Way, We Will Get Thrilled In The Wrong. If We Are Without The Thrill Of Communion With God, We Will Try To Get Thrilled By The Devil, Or By Some Concoction Of Human Ingenuity.
