“He said, “A new commandment I give you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.” And how had he loved them? Not by feeling emotional! But He washed their feet anyway, because love does not do what it feels, it does what is needed.”

“You only have to know that at any given moment Jesus Christ has the right of way in your life and you’re in the place where God wants you. You don’t have to beg for blessing. You thank Him in anticipation. It is inevitable. MAJOR IAN THOMAS”

“To penetrate deeper in the experience of Jesus Christ, it is required that you begin to abandon your whole existence, giving it up to God. Let us take the daily occurrences of life as an illustration. You must utterly believe that the circumstances of your life, that is, every minute of your life, as well as the whole course of your life—anything, yes, everything that happens—have all come to you by His will and by His permission. You must utterly believe that everything that has happened to you is from God and is exactly what you need.”

“God, I pray that my family will continue on in the faith. Give my children ears to hear and the memory to recall their legacy in future years. Remind us to pray often for family members and for our descendants, just as some of our ancestors surely prayed for us. Create from us, O Lord, a family legacy that will honor you for generations to come.”

“Pray About It: How often we pray for God to remove our problems when God has designed these problems to be vehicles for His strength. Whereas in the past we’ve prayed for days equal to our strength, today we must pray for power equal to our days. Remember today His strength will be made perfect in your weakness. Prayer imparts the power to walk and not faint. OSWALD CHAMBERS”

“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us. EPHESIANS 3: 20 NKJV Beware in your prayer, above everything, of limiting God, not only by unbelief, but by trying to figure out what He will do. Expect unexpected things, above all that we ask or think. Each time you intercede, be quiet first and worship God in His glory. Think of what He can do, of how He delights to hear the Christian pray, of your place in Christ; and expect great things. ANDREW MURRAY Pray About It: A test of true relinquishment in prayer is to so abandon our own plans that when God answers, it exceeds our expectations. Expect Him to do above all that you can ask or think. Give God room to create a miracle. Thou art coming to a King, Large petitions with thee bring For His grace and power are such None can ever ask too much. JOHN NEWTON”

“Don’t put limitations on God. He can hear your prayers at the same time your brothers and sisters are at prayer all around the world. J. B. Phillips wrote what has become a classic book, entitled Your God Is Too Small, wherein he challenged the limitations that most people put on God. The one to whom we pray knows the past, the present, and the future, and nothing is allowed to happen without His knowledge and permission. Thus we may have firm confidence in God. He is Sovereign. The prayers you will pray today, God will hear while you are yet speaking. And even more: before you call on Him, the answer is on its way! Your thoughts of God are too human. MARTIN LUTHER”

“Church of the living God! Be warned. Please not thyself, even as Jesus pleased not Himself. Live for Him, not for thyself, for Him not for the world. Walk worthy of thy name and calling, worthy of Him who bought thee as His bride, worthy of thine everlasting inheritance. HORATIUS BONAR”

“But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. 1 PETER 4:13-14”

“To the proud heart and ambitious spirit this may seem a poor, unproductive attitude—but to those of us who have entered the school of Christ and have begun to learn of him who was meek and lowly in heart—when we have drunk, in any measure, into the spirit of Him who made Himself of no reputation, we then see things quite differently.”

“O God full of compassion, I commend myself to your keeping, to Thee in whom I live. Be Thou the Goal of my pilgrimage, and my Rest along the way. Let my soul take refuge from the crowding turmoil of worldly thoughts beneath the shadow of Thy wings; let my heart, this sea of restless waves, find peace in Thee O God. Thou generous Giver of all good gifts, give to him who is weary refreshing food; bring our distracted thoughts and powers into harmony again; and set the prisoner free. See, how I stand at thy door and knock; be it open to me, that I may enter with a free step, and be quickened by Thee. For Thou art the Wellspring of Life, the Light of eternal Brightness, wherein righteous men live who love Thee. Be it unto me according to Thy word. Amen.”
