Our Own Efforts to Work up the Right Feelings - Andrew Murray

Our own thoughts of divine things, our own efforts to work up the right feelings, must be given up; our own power to worship must be seen for what it is: insufficient. Every approach to God must take place under a very distinct and quiet surrender to the Holy Spirit.

Taken from the book "The Indwelling Spirit" by Andrew Murray 1828-1917

Worship Would not be Complete Without - Thomas Goodwin

In public worship all should join. The little strings go to make up a concert, as well as the great. Though you have but little grace, yet God's worship would not be complete without you.

Ask Such Questions as These - Andrew Murray

Nothing searches and cleanses the heart like true prayer. It teaches one to ask such questions as these: Do I really desire what I pray for? Am I willing to cast out everything to make room for what God is prepared to give me? Is the prayer of my lips really the prayer of my life?
