Prayer

In the Sweetness of the Morning

In the morning, LORD, you hear my voice; the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly. —Psalm 5:3

Give God the blossom of the day. Do not put Him off with faded leaves. —Mrs. Charles E. Cowman

In the Early Morning Hours

Would you know this life of triumph,
Victory all the way?
Then put God in the beginning
Of each coming day.

Communication with God

“God finds ways to communicate with those who truly seek Him,” Christian author Philip Yancey wrote, “especially when we lower the volume of the surrounding static.”

“When you come aside from temporal things which distract and harass you, and there in the presence of God you put your mind on the things of God, His majesty & glory, then the transforming power of God begins to work.”

Can God Speak to Us?

God is by definition the omnipotent creator of the universe, the source of our being. It’s nonsense to say that this omnipotent being could exist without being able to communicate with His own creatures!—That “nobody can know” whether he’s real or not.

He can, He did, and He does. He’s not a divine deaf-mute. He does speak to us, and just as wonderfully, He listens to us—maybe a bit more keenly than we listen to Him, judging by the state of the world.

A Closer Walk

Whenever a person says to me: “My problem is that I do not love the Lord enough,” I usually respond: “No … your problem is that you do not know how much the Lord loves you.” —Selwyn Hughes (1928–2006)

We need never shout across the spaces to an absent God. He is nearer than our own soul, closer than our most secret thoughts. —A. W. Tozer (1897–1963)
