"We try too much and trust too little. Count the times God's Book tells us to "try."Now count the times it tells us to "trust."
"I guarantee you that after you die you will not say 'I spent too much time praying; I wish I had watched more TV instead."
"Nothing but prayer can make saints because nothing but God can make saints, and we meet God in prayer. Prayer is the hospital for souls where we meet Doctor God."
