FEBRUARY 4
Be fruitful therefore in every good work, and God shall see very soon His whole image.
Letter, 26th November, 1785
Pray, whether you can or not; when you are cheerful, when you are heavy, pray – with many or few words, or none at all. You will surely find an answer of peace.
to J. Valton, 1764
“I love one,” said a holy man, “that perseveres in a dry duty.” Beware of thinking even this is labour lost. God does much work in the heart even at those seasons.
Miss March, 1771
One great office of prayer is to increase our desire of the things we ask for.
