Prayer is not an exercise, it is the life.
Oswald Chambers
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

What we do with our lives individually is not what determines whether we are a success or not. What determines whether we are a success is how we have affected the lives of others.
Albert Schweitzer
Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on pilgrimage.
Psalm 84: 5
The New International Version
A boy was taken by his father on a camping trip in the Adirondacks. They hired a guide, left the beaten trails, and spent a week in the heart of the woods. The boy was greatly impressed by the ability of the guide to see all sorts of things, invisible to the ordinary eye. One day, after the guide had been pointing out some of the hidden secrets of nature, the lad asked with an awed voice, “Mister, can you see God?” The old man replied, “My boy, it’s getting so I can hardly see anything else when I’m out in the woods.”

To worship God, to study his will, to meditate upon him, and to love him; all these bring pleasure and peace.
John Tillotson
When the time drew near for David to die, he gave a charge to Solomon his son. “I am about to go the way of all the earth,” he said. “So be strong, act like a man, and observe what the Lord your God requires: Walk in obedience to him, and keep his decrees and commands, his laws and regulations, as written in the Law of Moses. Do this so that you may prosper in all you do and wherever you go
1 Kings 2:1-3

Duties are ours; events are God’s. This removes an infinite burden from the shoulders of a miserable, tempted, dying creature. On this consideration only can he securely lay down his head and close his eyes.
Richard Cecil
But I will sing of your strength; I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning. For you have been to me a fortress and a refuge in the day of my distress.
Psalm 59:16
The English Standard Version
It is more easy to be wise for others than for ourselves.

Trust with a child-like dependence upon God, and you shall fear no evil, for be assured that even “if the enemy comes in like a flood” the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him. While at that dread hour, when the world cannot help you, when all the powers of nature are in vain, yea, when your heart and your flesh shall fail you, you will be enabled still to rely with peace upon Him who has said “I will be the strength of thy heart and thy portion for ever.”
Henry Blunt
Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD, but those who act faithfully are his delight.
Proverbs 12:22
The English Standard Version
Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.

I asked God for strength, that I might achieve
I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey…
I asked for health, that I might do greater things
I was given infirmity, that I might do better things…
I asked for riches, that I might be happy
I was given poverty, that I might be wise…
I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men
I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God…
I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life
I was given life that I might enjoy all things…
I got nothing that I asked for—but everything I had hoped for
Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered.
I am, among all men, most richly blessed.
Unknown
He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
Psalm 91:4
The New International Version
To hold the same views at forty as we held at twenty is to have been stupefied for a score of years, and take rank, not as a prophet, but as an unteachable brat, well birched and none the wiser.

Deliver me, O Lord, from that evil man, myself.

We see different persons exercised with different kinds of crosses. But whilst the heavenly Physician, consulting the health of all His patients, practises a milder treatment towards some, and cures others with rougher remedies, yet He leaves no one completely exempted, because He knows we are all diseased, without the exception of a single individual.
John Calvin
Then David said to Solomon his son, “Be strong and of good courage, and do it. Fear not, be not dismayed; for the Lord God, even my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you, until all the work for the service of the house of the Lord is finished.
1 Chronicles 28:20
The Revised Standard Version
Authentic religion is not a theology test. It’s a love test.

The best of men are still sinners. If we take pride in the “greats” of this world, we have a warped view of God’s values. He chooses the base, the lowly, and the unknown.
Erwin W. Lutzer
“’Be strong, all you people still left in the land. And now get to work, for I am with you, says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. My Spirit remains among you, just as I promised when you came out of Egypt. So do not be afraid.’”

Adversity is not simply a tool. It is God’s most effective tool for the advancement of our spiritual lives. The circumstances and events that we see as setbacks are oftentimes the very things that launch us into periods of intense spiritual growth. Once we begin to understand this, and accept it as a spiritual fact of life, adversity becomes easier to bear.
Charles Stanley
But the LORD has become my stronghold, and my God the rock of my refuge.
Psalm 94:22
The Revised Standard Version
You can’t tell what a man is like or what he is thinking when you are looking at him. You must get around behind him and see what he has been looking at.
