June 5 John Heading

Many servants of the Lord today cannot even begin to assess how much their present positions derive from the prayers of mothers years before ... prayer affects the unknown future and the work of God through His servants.

September 13 D M Lloyd-Jones 5

When a man is speaking to God, he is at his very acme. It is the highest activity of the human soul, and therefore it is at the same time the ultimate test of a man’s true spiritual condition. There is nothing that tells the truth about us as Christian people so much as our prayer life. Everything we do in the Christian life is easier than prayer. Dr D Martyn Lloyd-Jones 1899-1981

August 20 John Evans 1

Let it be our daily concern and prayer, to have a more full and lively persuasion of those truths, with which we are acquainted. Though we should be concerned to grow in the extent of our faith, because nothing, which God hath seen fit to reveal, is without its use one way or another, at one time or another, in the Christian life: yet I take it to be of more consequence of the two, to have our faith to grow intensively, though it should not take so wide a compass. He is the better scholar, and like to make more profitable use of his learning, who hath carefully and well digested a few books in comparison; than he, that hath cursorily run over a far greater number: so a Christian, of smaller attainments in knowledge, if he hath but a firm and lively faith in the fewer principles of religion with which his mind is furnished, will far exceed a more knowing Christian, who gives but a weak assent to his larger store of divine truths. John Evans 1680-1730

May 13 Thomas Charles 10

The Bible ... You can converse with him any hour of the day or night, silently and privately. And his advice is that of the highest wisdom and goodness and may be safely relied on and followed. You cannot do better than follow his directions in all things. The information he gives you is of the greatest importance and divinely gracious. He will also tell you the same story over again and again a thousand times with the greatest patience if you have time and inclination to listen to his instructive tale. Thomas Charles (1755-1814)
