― Martin Luther, Luther's Works, Volume 22

“Prayer is not a tool of faith by which we control His control over our lives. Rather, it is the conversation God began with us when He established a relationship with us in Baptism.”
― Richard C. Eyer, Pastoral Care Under the Cross: God in the Midst of Suffering

“The Sermon on the Mount proves that sin is a condition of our inmost being; although our sinful nature is atoned for in the cross and our failures freely forgiven, we must never willingly cultivate habits that Scripture condemns.”
― Gene Edward Veith Jr., Reading Between the Lines: A Christian Guide to Literature

“When you and I surrendered to Jesus as Lord, we did not offer Him the services of a divine, or even semi-divine creature to strengthen His kingdom; we offer Him the fragile, temporary, mortal, frail life that He has first given to us. That is all we have to offer.

'For He knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust' (Ps. 103:14)”
