“He does not show Himself to us in order merely that we may know, but in order that, knowing, we may do, and, what is more than either knowing or doing, in order that we may be.”
― Alexander MacLaren, The Expositor's Bible: Colossians and Philemon

“In times of difficulty, if we die to self and put God’s will first (Matt. 6:33), we can be sure that He will either take us out of the trouble or bring us through.”
― Warren W. Wiersbe, Be Committed (Ruth & Esther): Doing God's Will Whatever the Cost

“O my Lord! strengthen my faith so in the Father's tender love and kindness, that as often as I feel sinful or troubled, the first instinctive thought may be to go where I know the Father waits me, and where prayer never can go unblessed. Let the thought that He knows my need before I ask, bring me, in great restfulness of faith, to trust that He will give what His child requires. O let the place of secret prayer become to me the most beloved spot on earth.”
― Andrew Murray, Lord, Teach Us To Pray

“The power of Christ in the life of the believer does more than merely restrain the desires of the flesh: It puts new desires within him. Nature determines appetite. The Christian has the very nature of God within (2 Peter 1:4), and this means he has godly ambitions and desires. He does not need law on the outside to control his appetites because he has life on the inside!”
