“A faith worthy of God! It is not of flesh and blood; it is my Father’s work, says Jesus. It is of my Father which is in heaven. ‘Simon Bar-jona, flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.’ Thy faith stands not in ‘the wisdom of man, but in the power of God.’” (Hugh Martin 1822-1885)

“He has prevented us with his goodness, when he saw nothing in us but impatience and unbelief, when we were like Jonas in the belly of hell, his bowels yearned over us, and his power brought us safe to land. What did we do to hasten his deliverance, or to obtain his mercy? If he had never come to our relief till he saw something in us to invite him, we had not yet been relived. No more did we contribute to our restoration than we do to the rising of the sun or the approach of day.” Timothy Rogers

“We fail, not because there is not ample strength in Jesus Christ for us, but because in our folly and sin we are trusting in ourselves to obey the law.” (Edward Henry Bickersteth 1825-1906)

“Turn me not only from sin and ignorance, but from every false confidence, and every deceitful refuge.” (James Hervey; 1714-1758)

“What need we have of the teachings of the Spirit every moment of one’s life; how important to be found constantly distrusting and leaning off of self, and trusting to and upon Jesus!” (Octavius Winslow 1808-1878)
