Our families should gather for family prayer morning and night.
God is much in the difficult home problems as in the times of quiet and prayer.
I believe that wishes and hopes have a slight negative tinge to them. It is something which postpones what you should get. Prayer is better where you have a direct connection with God and it also has the power to make it happen for you.
It is a most delightful reflection that if I come to the throne of God in prayer, I may feel a thousand defects, but yet there is hope. I usually feel more dissatisfied with my prayers than with anything else I do.
A prayer that must have a cannon behind it better never be uttered. Forgiveness ought not to go in partnership with shot and shell. Love need not carry knives and revolvers.
