—Martin Luther

Prayer does not fit us for the greater work; prayer is the greater work.

—Oswald Chambers

God will do great things for you if you will wait for Him. Yield to Him. Cooperate with Him.

—John Smith

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. (Galatians 2:20)
