THE HEART OF WORSHIP IS SURRENDER.

In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart.

Most Christians pray to be blessed. Few pray to be broken.

The small prayers of weak and broken people move the heart of God.

If He prayed who was without sin, how much more it becometh a sinner to pray!

A little lifting of the heart suffices; a little remembrance of God, one act of inward worship are prayers which, however short, are nevertheless acceptable to God.

Those prayers God likes best which come seething hot from the heart.

The engagement of the heart in worship is the coming alive of the feelings and emotions and affections of the heart. Where feelings for God are dead, worship is dead.

Our lives laid down in war and peace may not Be found acceptable in Heaven's sight. And that they may be is the only prayer Worth praying. May my sacrifice Be found acceptable in Heaven's sight.

If gazelles had a religion and the lion was their god they could, in order to appease his appetite, voluntarily surrender one of their number to him. This is exactly what happens among men: religious sacrifice springs from a state of crowd fear. It serves to halt the pursuit and, for a while, stil the hunger of the hostile power.

Meaningful prayer is a matter of the heart, not the eloquence of the words.

Assuredly, Loving Souls, you should go to God with all humility and respect, humbling yourselves in His presence, especially when you remember your past ingratitude and sins.
