Temptations, When We Meet Them At First,

Such Is The Effect Of The Grace Of God In The Heart Of A Pilgrim; While On One Hand He Sees The Propensity Of His Evil Nature To Every Sin Which Has Been Committed By Others, And Is Humbled; He Also Confesses, That, By No Power Of His Own, Is He Preserved, But Ever Gives The Glory To The God Of All Grace, By Whose Power Alone He Is Kept From Falling.

In Prayer It Is Better To Have A Heart Without Words Than Words Without A Heart.

Knock, And It Shall Be Opened Unto You.

You Can Do More Than Pray After You Have Prayed, But You Cannot Do More Than Pray Until You Have Prayed. Pray Often, For Prayer Is A Shield To The Soul, A Sacrifice To God, And A Scourge To Satan.

The Swamp Of Despond Is That Place Set Before The Narrow Gate Where True And False Pilgrims Alike Are Assaulted By Their Own Internal Corruption And Pollution. The Dirt And Scum That Has Attached Itself To Our Hearts And Minds Is Agitated And Revealed By Both The Workings Of A Guilty Conscience And The Devouring Avarice Of The Enemy Of Our Souls.the
