Image
Prayer is the offering up of our desires to God in the name of Christ, for such things as are agreeable to his will. It is an offering of our desires. Desires are the soul and life of prayer words are but the body now as the body without the soul is dead, so are prayers unless they are animated with our desires.
Thomas Watson
Image
Whoever brings an affliction, it is God who sends it.
Thomas Watson
Image
The Ediles among the Romans had their doors always standing open, that all who had petitions might have free access to them. The door of heaven is always open for the prayers of God's people.
Thomas Watson
Image
Solve it. Solve it quickly, solve it right or wrong. If you solve it wrong, it will come back and slap you in the face, and then you can solve it right. Lying dead in the water and doing nothing is a comfortable alternative because it is without risk, but it is an absolutely fatal way to manage a business.
Thomas Watson
Image
God will fill the hungry because He Himself has stirred up the hunger. As in the case of prayer, when God prepares the heart to pray, He prepares His ear to hear (Ps. 10:17). So in the case of spiritual hunger, when God prepares the heart to hunger, He will prepare His hand to fill.

The pleasure of sin is soon gone, but the sting remains.
Thomas Watson
Image
It is our work to cast care, and it is God's work to take care.
Thomas Watson
Image
The torments of hell abide for ever.... If all the earth and sea were sand, and every thousandth year a bird should come, and take away one grain of this sand, it would be a long time ere that vast heap of sand were emptied yet, if after all that time the damned may come out of hell, there were some hope but this word EVER breaks the heart.
Thomas Watson
Image
He that loves the world, how active is he! He will break his peace and sleep for it. He that loves honour, what hazards will he run! He will swim to the throne in blood.... Love heaven, and you cannot miss it love breaks through all opposition-it takes heaven by storm.
Thomas Watson
Image
There is justice in hell, but sin is the most unjust thing. It would rob God of his glory, Christ of his purchase, the soul of its happiness.
Thomas Watson
Image
The angel fetched Peter out of prison, but it was prayer that fetched the angel.
Thomas Watson
Image
Prayer as it comes from the saint is weak and languid but when the arrow of a saint's prayer is put into the bow of Christ's intercession it pierces the throne of grace.
Thomas Watson
Image
Christ went more willingly to the cross than we do to the throne of grace.
Thomas Watson
Image
The more we enjoy of God, the more we are ravished with delight.
Thomas Watson
Image
Affliction has a sting, out withal a wing: sorrow shall fly away.
Thomas Watson
Image
Joining a company is an act that calls for absolute loyalty in big matters and little ones.
Thomas Watson
Image
If a wicked man seems to have peace at death, it is not from the knowledge of his happiness, but from the ignorance of his danger.
Thomas Watson
Image
Our murmuring is the devil's music.
Thomas Watson
Image
Sin has the devil for its father, shame for its companion, and death for its wages.
Thomas Watson
Image
Affliction may be lasting, but it is not everlasting. Affliction was a sting, but withal a wing: sorrow shall soon fly away.
