Pray in Faith
Lord, Teach me to Pray in Faith! to Pray as You Do.
Wholly
As I give myself Wholly to Christ, I Find the Power to Take Him Wholly for myself;
And as I Lose myself and all I have for Him, He Takes me Wholly for Himself, and Gives Himself Wholly to me.
Really Prays
The one who Really Prays is a person who not only often Approaches God but also whose will Frequently Enters Into God’s Will – that is to say, his thought often enters into God’s Thought.
The Call of the Lord
But the Call of the Lord is for the Purpose of Disturbing our current status.
All Spiritual Progress Involves the Changing of current programs.
This is the Price to be Paid for Spiritual Advancement.
Seeking Spiritual ease is often the motive for resisting a Higher Calling.
A Dry Eye
A dry eye reveals a dry and hard heart.
Such a heart has become rebellious, void of feeling, insensitive as wood and stone.
Absolute Surrender
God is Life, Love, Blessing, Power and Infinite Beauty,
And God Delights to Communicate Himself to Every Child who is Prepared to Receive Him,
BUT the lack of Absolute Surrender is just the thing that Hinders God.
And NOW He Comes and as God He Claims It.
Restraint Constraint
It seems to tell us that this thing should not be done – this is the Restraint of Intuition.
Kind of constraint, urge or encouragement for us to do it – this is the Constraint of Intuition.
