“Transform us, by your mercy and grace, into children who are more thankful for your kindness, more humble under your correction, more watchful against temptation, more eager to serve you. Give us hearts overflowing with joy in you and lips that boast often of Jesus Christ, our only hope in life and in death.”
― Barbara R. Duguid, Prone to Wander: Prayers of Confession and Celebration

“If the Holy Spirit is carefully and lovingly managing all our falls into sin and using them for God's glory and our good, then there is great cause for joy and peace whether you are leaping forward or crawling through the Christian life.”
― Barbara R. Duguid, Extravagant Grace: God's Glory Displayed in Our Weakness

“If the goal of sanctification is actually growing in humility and greater dependence on Christ, then the Holy Spirit is doing an excellent job. Through his ongoing struggles with indwelling sin, the maturing believer will spend many years learning that he is more sinful than he ever imagined, in order to discover that he is indeed far more loved than he ever dared to hope.”

“We marvel that you would consider us a joy worth suffering for, and we bow humbly before you and offer you our praise, our thanks, and our very lives.”
