Prayer is when you talk to God; meditation is when you listen to God.
Diana Robinson
For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.

I this day [June 28, 1788] enter on my eighty-sixth year; and what cause have I to praise God, as for a thousand spiritual blessings, so for bodily blessings also! How little have I suffered yet by “the rush of numerous years”! To what cause can I impute this, that I am as I am? First, doubtless, to the power of God, fitting me for the work to which I am called, as long as he pleases to continue me therein; and next, subordinately to this, to the prayers of his children.
May we not impute it, as inferior means:
-To my constant exercise and change of air?
-To my never having lost a night’s sleep, sick or well, at land or at sea, since I was born?
-To my having sleep at command, so that whenever I feel myself almost worn out, I call it, and it comes, day or night?
-To my having constantly, for above sixty years, risen at four in the morning?
-To my constant preaching at five in the morning, for above fifty years?
-To my having had so little pain in my life, and so little sorrow, or anxious care?
John Wesley

If Christ comes to rule in the hearts of men, it will be because we take Him with us on the tractor, behind the desk, when we’re making a sale to a customer, or when we’re driving on the road.
Alexander Nunn
Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness’ sake, O LORD.

We cannot say that this or that trouble shall not befall us. Yet we may, by help of the Spirit, say that nothing that doth befall shall make me do that which is unworthy of a Christian.
Richard Sibbes
I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.

If God is here for us and not elsewhere, then in fact this place is holy and this moment is sacred.
