Critics of the church, they are down on something they are not up on. We are not to judge men, let God be the judge. Prayer is a key in the morning and a bolt at night. To seek God when all is well is to have his companionship when trouble comes; The Christian life requires cultivation. The secret of prayer is secret prayer What I am is God's gift to me, What I become is my gift to God. Begin with God in the morning or he will be last in your thoughts all day and it will be a day of defeat. Praying will make one lay aside his sinning or sinning will make him lay aside his praying. God will not condone in a Christian what he condemns in a sinner. Any tragedy that drops us to your knees is a victory. I am no longer my own, but thine, put me to what thou wilt, rank me with whom thou wilt. Put me to doing, put me to suffering, let me be employed for thee-or laid aside for thee, exalted for thee or brought low for thee. Let me be full-let me be empty, let me have all things, let me have nothing. I freely and heartily yield all things to thy pleasure and disposal. And not O glorious and blessed God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit- thou art mine and I am thine -----Prayer of John Wesley |
