It is good for us to keep some account of our prayers, that we may not unsay them in our practice.
Matthew Henry
Image
It is a sin against God not to pray for the Israel of God, especially for those of them that are under our charge. Good men are afraid of the guilt of omissions ( I Samuel 12).
Matthew Henry
Image
Were we to think more of our own mistakes and offences, we should be less apt to judge other people.
Matthew Henry
Image
What we count the ills of life are often blessings in disguise, resulting in good to us in the end. Though for the present not joyous but grievous, yet, if received in a right spirit, they work out fruits of righteousness for us at last.
Matthew Henry
Image
The God of Israel is sometimes a God who hides Himself, but never a God who absents Himself sometimes in the dark, but never at a distance.
Matthew Henry
Image
There is a burden of care in getting riches fear in keeping them temptation in using them guilt in abusing them sorrow in losing them and a burden of account at last to be given concerning them.

We have no sufficient strength of our own. All our sufficiency is of God. We should stir up ourselves to resist temptations in a reliance upon God's all-sufficiency and the omnipotence of his might.
Matthew Henry
Image
Esther came to a proud imperious man we come to the God of love and grace.
Matthew Henry
Image
All this and heaven too.
Matthew Henry
Image
He that is in haste may contract much guilt in a little time. What we say or do unadvisedly when we are hot, we must unsay or undo again when we are cool, or do worse.
Matthew Henry
Image
There is one death bed repentance recorded in the Bible (the thief on the cross), so that no one despair, but there is ONLY one, so that no one will presume.
Matthew Henry
Image
None live so easily, so pleasantly, as those that live by faith.
Matthew Henry
Image
The Bible is a letter God has sent to us prayer is a letter we send to him.
Matthew Henry
Image
To wait on God is to live a life of desire toward Him, delight in Him, dependence on Him, and devotedness to Him.
Matthew Henry
Image
Anger cannot rest in the bosom where love reigns.
Matthew Henry
Image
None shall be saved by Christ but those only who work out their own salvation while God is working in them by His truth and His Holy Spirit. We cannot do without God and God will not do without us.
Matthew Henry
