“Humility and lowliness of spirit qualify us for friendly communion and interaction with God in Christ.  Pride makes God our enemy.”  (Thomas Boston; 1677-1732)

“A child of God is in himself not able to send up a sweet-smelling sacrifice of prayer that is acceptable to heaven.  He is too infirm and powerless because of the impotence of sin, the impotence of foolishness, ignorance, and shortsightedness.  He needs a helper.  (Frans Bakker; 1919-1965)

“There is not a moment, even with the holiest, that we are exposed to the “fiery darts” of the adversary.”  (Octavius Winslow; 1808-1878)

“There is an adversary of our souls who is ever active.  His great object is always to discourage us, and if possible to get us even to deny the faith.  Various temptations are presented by him to our minds—anything, indeed, that may undermine our faith.” (D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones; 1899-1981)

“Man is a poor changeable creature and changes his mind oftener than his garment, both from the darkness of his understanding and the perverseness of his will; he frequently sees something that he saw not before; but there is no such imperfection in God. All things are naked before him.”  (Christopher Ness; 1621-1705)

“It is always under some false confidence that the children of God decline to obey him.”  ( Alexander Carson; 1776-1844)

“The promises of grace flow from the boundless love of God, and from that alone.”  (Charles H. Spurgeon; 1834-1892)

“The best way in this world to have thine own will, is to lie down in the will of God, and quietly to resign up thyself to the good will and pleasure of God.”  (Thomas Brooks; 1608-1680)

“When you are disturbed by vain thoughts, humble yourself before God, and call in assistance from Heaven.”  (John Flavel; 1628-1691)

“Some are of a more sweet disposition, and are drawn by mercy.  Others are more rugged and knotty pieces; these God deals with in a more forcible way.  Some things are kept in sugar, some in brine.  God does not deal alike with all; He has trials for the strong and cordials for the weak.”  (Thomas Watson; 1620-1686)
