Prayer is the opening of the heart to God as to a friend. Not that it is necessary in order to make known to God what we are, but in order to enable us to receive Him. Prayer does not bring God down to us, but brings us up to Him.

More quotes by Ellen G. White
God tests and proves us by the common occurrences of life. It is the little things which reveal the chapters of the heart.
Ellen G. White
If physical exercise were combined with mental exertion, the blood would be quickened in its circulation, the action of the heart would be more perfect, impure matter would be thrown off, and new life and vigor would be experienced in every part of the body.
Ellen G. White
Whatever attracts the mind from God, whatever draws the affections away from Christ, is an enemy to the soul.
Ellen G. White
Gather every promise. This is Jesus, the life of every grace, the life of every promise, the life of every ordinance, the life of every blessing.
Ellen G. White
Confound not faith and feeling together. They are distinct. Faith is ours to exercise. Believe, believe. Let your faith take hold of the blessing, and it is yours by faith. Your feelings have nothing to do with this faith.
Ellen G. White
You need clear, energetic minds, in order to appreciate the exalted character of the truth, to value the atonement, and to place the right estimate upon eternal things.
Ellen G. White
In the matchless gift of His Son, God has encircled the whole world with an atmosphere of grace as real as the air which circulates around the globe. All who chose to breathe this life-giving atmosphere will live and grow up to the stature of men and women in Christ Jesus.
Ellen G. White
We need no fanciful teaching regarding the personality of God. What God desires us to know of Him is revealed in His word and His works. The beautiful things of nature reveal His character and His power as Creator.
Ellen G. White
It is a universal principle that whenever one refuses to use his God-given powers, these powers decay and perish.
Ellen G. White
Music, when turned to a good account, is a blessing. When abused, it leads the unconsecrated to pride, vanity, and folly, and becomes one of Satan 's most attractive agencies to ensnare souls.
Ellen G. White
So long as He lived among men, our Saviour shared the lot of the poor. He knew by experience their cares and hardships, and He could comfort and encourage all humble workers.
Ellen G. White
There are orphans who can be cared for but this some will not venture to undertake for it brings them more work than they care to do, leaving them but little time for their own pleasure.
Ellen G. White
In Christ was united the human and the divine. His mission was to reconcile God to man, and man to God to unite the finite with the infinite.
Ellen G. White
Ministers should impress upon the people the necessity of individual effort. No church can flourish unless its members are workers. The people must lift where the ministers lift.
Ellen G. White
God requires you individually to come up to the point, to make an entire surrender. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Ellen G. White
If the life we live in this world is wholly for Christ, it is a life of daily surrender.
Ellen G. White
Ministers of God's choosing are engaged in a great work. They are warring not merely against men, but Satan and his angels.
Ellen G. White
A minister of Jesus Christ should not be regardless of his attitude. If he is the representative of Jesus Christ, his deportment, his attitude, his gestures, should be of that character which will not strike the beholder with disgust.
Ellen G. White
Youth without beauty is half a prize.
Ellen G. White
Ministers should not pray so loud, and long, as to exhaust the strength. It is not necessary to weary the throat and lungs in prayer. God's ear is ever open to hear the heart-felt petitions of his humble servants, and he does not require them to wear out the organs of speech in addressing him.
