If the spirit rule and the body be humbled, man will seek nothing beyond the necessary. He will be satisfied with little and will disdain superfluity.
Maimonides
Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 13:13
The New Living Translation
Those blessings are sweetest that are won with prayers and worn with thanks.

The potency of prayer hath subdued the strength of fire; it hath bridled the rage of lions, hushed anarchy to rest, extinguished wars, appeased the elements, expelled demons, burst the chains of death, expanded the gates of heaven, assuaged diseases, repelled frauds, rescued cities from destruction, stayed the sun in its course, and arrested the progress of the thunderbolt.
John Chrysostom
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
Ephesians 2:8

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.

You open your hand and satisfy the desires of every living thing.

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

Love, proceeding from faith, gradually changes the soul, into the likeness of God; and the more it is in exercise the more is that change effected.
John Owen
Thus says the Lord: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the Lord.”
Jeremiah 9:23-24
The English Standard Version
The outward man is the swinging door; the inner man is the still hinge.
Meister Eckhart

The principal cause of my leanness and unfruitfulness is owing to an unaccountable backwardness to pray. I can write or read or converse or hear with a ready heart; but prayer is more spiritual and inward than any of these, and the more spiritual any duty is the more my carnal heart is apt to start from it. Prayer and patience and faith are never disappointed. When I can find my heart in frame and liberty for prayer, everything else is comparatively easy.
Richard Newton
He gives His beloved sleep.
Psalm 127:2
The New King James Version
Don’t fight with God over who is in control.

It is faith’s work to claim and challenge loving kindness out of all the roughest strokes of God.
Samuel Rutherford
Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?
Isaiah 40:12
The King James Version
God loved us enough to save us from sin’s past penalty.
God loves us enough to save us from sin’s present power.
God loves us enough to save us from sin’s future presence.
