Be Sure That Your Motive In Praying

The Christian Life Is Not A Constant High. I Have My Moments Of Deep Discouragement. I Have To Go To God In Prayer With Tears In My Eyes, And Say, 'o God, Forgive Me,' Or 'help Me.'

... The Same Hand That Made Trees And Fields And Flowers, The Seas And Hills, The Clouds And Sky, Has Been Making A Home For Us Called Heaven.

"what Is The Greatest Surprise You Have Found About Life?" A University Student Asked Me Several Years Ago. "the Brevity Of It," I Replied Without Hesitation. Time Moves So Quickly, And No Matter Who We Are Or What We Have Done, The Time Will Come When Our Lives Will Be Over. As Jesus Said, "as Long As It Is Day, We Must Do The Work Of Him Who Sent Me. Night Is Coming, When No One Can Work" (john 9:4).

When Scripture Talks About The Heart, It's Not Talking About That Life-sustaining Muscle. It's Talking About Our Entire Inner Being. The Heart Is The Seat Of Our Emotions, The Seat Of Decisive Action, And The Seat Of Belief (as Well As Doubt).
