Four steps to achievement: Plan purposefully. Prepare prayerfully. Proceed positively. Pursue persistently.

William Arthur Ward (Author, 1921 – 1994)

“Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.” 

William Arthur Ward (Author, 1921 – 1994)

Blessed is he who has learned to admire but not envy, to follow but not imitate, to praise but not flatter, and to lead but not manipulate.

William Arthur Ward (Author, 1921 – 1994)

When trust is perfect and there is no doubt, prayer is simply the outstretched hand ready to receive.

Edward M. Bounds (Author, 1835 – 1913)

Private place and plenty of time are the life of prayer.

Edward M. Bounds (Author, 1835 – 1913)

Faith does the impossible because it brings God to undertake for us, and nothing is impossible with God.

Edward M. Bounds (Author, 1835 – 1913)

The goal of prayer is the ear of God, a goal that can only be reached by patient and continued and continuous waiting upon Him, pouring out our heart to Him and permitting Him to speak to us. Only by so doing can we expect to know Him, and as we come to know Him better we shall spend more time in His presence and find that presence a constant and ever-increasing delight.

Edward M. Bounds (Author, 1835 – 1913)

The Church is looking for better methods; God is looking for better men.

Edward M. Bounds (Author, 1835 – 1913)

We cannot talk to God strongly when we have not lived for God strongly. The closet cannot be made holy to God when the life has not been holy to God.

Edward M. Bounds (Author, 1835 – 1913)

Prayer is not learned in a classroom but in the closet.

Edward M. Bounds (Author, 1835 – 1913)
