This Day's Thought

The possibilities of prayer are found in its allying itself with the purposes of God, for God’s purposes and man’s praying are the combination of all potent and omnipotent forces.

E. M. Bounds

It is meditation that leads us in spirit into the hallowed solitudes wherein we find God alone—in peace, in calm, in silence, in recollection.

This Day's Thought

When we in prayer seek only the glorification of the name of God, then we are in complete harmony with the spirit of prayer. Then our hearts are at rest both while we pray and after we have prayed. Then we can wait for the Lord.

Ole Hallesby

This Day's Verse

What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

Romans 8:31-32
The King James Version

This Day's Reprise

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle.

This Day's Thought

If we are to pray aright, perhaps it is quite necessary that we pray contrary to our own heart. Not what we want to pray is important, but what God wants us to pray. The richness of the Word of God ought to determine our prayer, not the poverty of our heart.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

This Day's Verse

Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness.

Matthew 9:35
The New International Version

This Day's Reprise

A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.

This Day's Thought

So often we pray and then fret anxiously, waiting for God to hurry up and do something. All the while God is waiting for us to calm down, so He can do something through us.

Corrie ten Boom

This Day's Verse

Then Peter and  the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.

Acts 5:29
The King James Version

This Day's Smile

God forgets the past. Imitate him.

This Day's Thought

The Christian teacher should pray before preaching—He will succeed more by piety in prayer than by gifts of oratory.

Augustine

This Day's Verse

For God chose to save us through our Lord Jesus Christ, not to pour out his anger on us. Christ died for us so that, whether we are dead or alive when he returns, we can live with him forever. So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing.

1 Thessalonians 5:9-11
The New Living Translation

This Day's Smile

Knowledge is proud that he has learned so much;
Wisdom is humble that he knows no more.

This Day's Thought

In prayer two things are necessary, faith and humility; by faith we rise up to God, and by humility we lie prostrate on the ground.

This Day's Thought

No one can believe how powerful prayer is, and what it is able to effect, except those who have learned it by experience. It is a great matter when in extreme need, to take hold on prayer. I know that whenever I have earnestly prayed, I have been amply heard, and have obtained more than I prayed for. God, indeed, sometimes delayed, but at last He came.

Martin Luther

This Day's Verse

Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Revelation 14:12
The King James Version

This Day's Reprise

God has promised forgiveness to your repentance, but He has not promised tomorrow to your procrastination.

Augustine
