Prayer Will Never Do Our Work For

Certainly Christianity Is An Experience, But Equally Clearly The Validity Of Ane Experience Has To Be Tested. There Are People In Lunatic Asylums Who Have The Experience Of Being The Emperor Napoleon Or A Poached Egg. It Is Unquestionably An Experience, And To Them A Real Experience, But For All That It Has No Kind Of Universal Validity. It Is Necessary To Go Far Beyond Simply Saying That Something Comes From Experience. Before Any Such Thing Can Be Evaluated At All, The Source And Character Of The Experience Must Clearly Be Investigated.

We Are Trying Not So Much To Make God Listen To Us As To Make Ourselves Listen To Him; We Are Trying Not To Persuade God To Do What We Want, But To Find Out What He Wants Us To Do. It So Often Happens That In Prayer We Are Really Saying, 'thy Will Be Changed,' When We Ought To Be Saying, 'thy Will Be Done.' The First Object Of Prayer Is Not So Much To Speak To God As To Listen To Him.

In The Time We Have It Is Surely Our Duty To Do All The Good We Can To All The People We Can In All The Ways We Can.

True Worship Is When The Spirit, The Immortal And Invisible Part Of Man, Speaks To And Meets With God, Who Is Immortal And Invisible.

Jesus Is The Yes To Every Promise Of God.
