“We imagine that a little anxiety and worry is an indication of how wise we really are; it may be an indication of how wicked we really are.”

“If we indulge in inordinate affection, anger, anxiety, God holds us responsible; but He also insists that we have to be passionately filled with the right emotions.”

“God never gives us discernment in order that we may criticize, but that we may intercede.”

“We become side-tracked if we make physical health our aim and imagine that because we are children of God we shall always be perfectly well.”

“your god may be your little Christian habit - the habit of prayer or Bible reading at certain times of your day. Watch how your Father will upset your schedule if you begin to worship your habit instead of what the habit symbolizes. We say, 'I can't do that right now; this is my time alone with God.' No, this is your time alone with your habit.”

“The whole meaning of prayer is that we may know God.”
