“Prayer, to the patriarchs and prophets, was more than the recital of well-known and well-worn phrases. It was the outpouring of the heart. Beset by perils, persecutions, pain and privations, they naturally turned to God in their need, believing that He was able to redeem them out of their troubles.”

Elihu was a different kind of comforter, as we gather from his magnificent description of the purpose of God’s chastening. (See Job 33:14–30.) The world could do with more comforters of his kind!”

“In His humanity Christ depended not on His own power, but upon His almighty Father in heaven.”
