PRAYER
"Prayer is a sincere, sensible, affectionate pouring out of the soul to God, through Christ, in the strength and assistance of the Spirit—for such things as God has promised." John Bunyan
SECRET PRAYER (article)
The choicest, sweetest, wisest and strongest Christian!
We have need to use this prayer at all times!
There is no habit that we should more sedulously form
If our lives were as good as our prayers
Open wide your mouth — and I will fill it!
Go to Him just as you are — and receive from Him all you need!
Take both sorrow and sin to the same place!
He is dull, heavy, lumpy — all but dead
Every groan of your wounded heart; your every sigh, and cry, and prayer!
This would help you more than anything!
How to pray in our own Gethsemanes
Our tears of penitence cannot remove one blot!
Reader! have you enjoyed the presence of Jesus today?
His yearning heart awaits you!
Thomas Watson's choice quotes on PRAYER
God does not deal with us in this 'sentimental' way!
Go to the mercy-seat as a little child to a mother's knee!
One essential element of all true prayer
As we pass along the miry paths of life
At all times, and under all circumstances!
We meekly knock at mercy's gate
Not all we wish, not all that we may think pleasant or desirable
It is not your work that He wants most — it is you!
A life of simple, active, and absolute dependence on Jesus!
The secret of a beautiful life!
He has a numerous and necessitous family!
O what crowds of pitiable objects!
He always lives to make intercession for them!
Weak and helpless and burdened
The most healthy state of a Christian
The Christian's never-failing resort in every case, in every plight
Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me!
I am fast borne along the stream of time!
How often do we mingle sulphur with our incense!
We may have audience with the King of the universe!
For final revision and approval
Do you indeed ACT as you pray?
A broken heart, a helpless and powerless soul
Almighty God, our heavenly Father
Tangles which our fingers cannot unravel
A device for saving people from toil, struggle and responsibility
Helpless, hopeless, friendless, portionless
The divine philosophy for peaceful living
It will help us greatly in our Christian life
My malady, my monster, my foe, my viper!
Fleeting earthly comforts and worldly trinkets!
The bags will come to an end, long before the treasure is exhausted!
I must take off my earthly garments, and put on my sacred dress
Bending His gracious ear to sinful worms
Just as the miser returns often to look on his treasure
Come with Me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest
We are not to expect that God will give us everything we choose to ask for!
Do not be anxious about anything!
These days of sin and temptation
Let me no longer waste my time
The sword of Divine justice buried in His sinless heart!
The golden key, and the iron lock
In this scene of confusion and distraction
Ah, my much abused, much neglected heart!
The chosen pleasure-ground of our souls!
Your sin, guilt, and temptation!
That spiritual chemistry which turns all metals into gold!
Pour all your secrets into His ear!
What a holy, happy life is this!
An application to divine wealth—and a confession of personal inadequacy
My eyes are always on the Lord!
A quiet hour spent alone with God at the beginning of the day
A man too big for temptations to conquer!
O for a spirit of habitual prayer!
What we are in secret devotions
The deadly viper in its real malignity!
Christ's seemingly inexplicable conduct
Some of Your gifts have come to us in strange form!
I flee anew to the pavilion of Your love!
The treasury is large and inexhaustible
Wonder, O heavens, and be astonished, O earth!
The path to comfort in our time of sorrow
Move, I beg You, upon my disordered heart
O Lord! I desire to be humbled
Oh, what music in the Shepherd's ear!
He will warm, soften, and fill it with His love
You have allowed the key to rust!
Oh, this is heaven, the heaven of heaven!
We are upon the utmost heights of human greatness!
The best recipe for cheerfulness
A tear makes no great noise, yet has a voice
The heart of God will fly open!
A mortal man reposing at the feet of the Incarnate God!
The remedy, cure, antidote, panacea, and golden key!
Little, little, little things?
It is a wonder God does not kick us out of His presence!
Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away
The grandest benefactors of the church!
His beauty covers my deformities!
Dull, heavy, lumpy, all but dead!
Poverty, wretchedness, and woe!
Go and lay your icy heart upon His flaming heart of love!
God's conscious comforting presence!
A hard, proud, hollow religion?
The eminent prayerfulness of Jesus
The eloquence which God delights in
The pattern which we daily strive to copy!
The religion of this poor Hottentot woman
How to get a dry and barren heart
Prayer is just talking to Jesus
Here is my heart, my poor heart
O take my all, this worthless heart, and make it wholly Thine!
