Prayer is not flight, prayer is power. Prayer does not deliver a man from some terrible situation prayer enables a man to face and to master the situation.
William Barclay
Image
It may be that one of our great faults in prayer is that we talk too much and listen too little. When prayer is at its highest we wait in silence for God's voice to us we linger in His presence for His peace and His power to flow over us and around us we lean back in His everlasting arms and feel the serenity of perfect security in Him.
William Barclay
Image
Real repentance means coming not only to be sorry for the consequences of sin but to hate sin itself.
William Barclay
Image
It may well be a sign of the decadence of the Church and the failure of Christianity that gifts have to be coaxed out of people, and that often they will not give at all unless they get something for their money in the way of entertainment or of goods. Giving which is real giving has a certain recklessness in it.
William Barclay
Image
The only victory love can enjoy is the day when its offer of love is answered by the return of love. The only possible final triumph is a universe loved by God and in love with God.
William Barclay
Image
The only way to get our values right is to see, not the beginning, but the end of the way, to see things not only in the light of time but in the light of Eternity.
William Barclay
Image
I thank you for my friends, for those who understand me better than I understand myself. For those who know me at my worst, and still like me. For those who have forgiven me when I had no right to expect to be forgiven. Help me to be as true to my friends as I would wish them to be to me.

There is a time when to avoid trouble is to store up trouble, and when to seek for a lazy and a cowardly peace is to court a still greater danger.
William Barclay
Image
It is fatally easy to think of Christianity as something to be discussed and not as something to be experienced.
William Barclay
Image
There are two great days in a person's life - the day we are born and the day we discover why.
William Barclay
Image
The Christian is a [person] of joy... A gloomy Christian is a contradiction of terms, and nothing in all religious history has done Christianity more harm than its connection with black clothes and long faces.
William Barclay
Image
It may well be that the world is denied miracle after miracle and triumph after triumph because we will not bring to Christ what we have and what we are. If, just as we are, we would lay ourselves on the altar of service of Jesus Christ, there is no saying what Christ could do with us and through us.
William Barclay
Image
There is no joy in the world like the joy of bringing one soul to Christ.
William Barclay
Image
Jesus’ coming is the final and unanswerable proof that God cares.

A saint is someone whose life makes it easier to believe in God.
William Barclay
Image
Faith in God is the instrument which enables men and women to remove the hills of difficulty which block their path.
William Barclay
Image
True prayer is asking God what He wants.
William Barclay
Image
We reverence God and we hallow God's name when our life is such that it brings honor to God and attracts others to Him.
William Barclay
Image
True worship is when the spirit, the immortal and invisible part of man, speaks to and meets with God, who is immortal and invisible.

Prayer will never do our work for us what it will do is to strengthen us for work which must be done.
