The love ofChrist is my prayer-book

Prayer brings to us blessings which we need, and which only God can give, and which prayer can alone convey to us...Prayer is simply asking God to do for us what he has promised us he will do if we ask him.

A God comprehended is no God. (Ein begriffener Gott ist kein Gott.)

As long as we want to be different from what God wants us to be at the time, we are only tormenting ourselves to no purpose.

To walk before God and in His presence, is the ground and the costly jewel of true Christian living. I would have you above all things to grasp this firmly,because, when it is rightly understood and practiced, it includes all else.

He brings to naught, destroys and rejects all that is not His own work how He draws everything to Himself and absorbs it, that at last He may live and work in us and through us and reign alone as king. Happy the soul who refuses nothing to love, but places everything at His disposal, for only thus may all our works be done more and more in God.
