QUOTE - A.W. Tozer
“What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us. ... Worship is pure or base as the worshiper entertains high or low thoughts of God.” He went on to say: “For this reason the gravest question before the Church is always God Himself, and the most portentous fact about any man is not what he at a given time may say or do, but what he in his deep heart conceives God to be like. We tend by a secret law of the soul to move toward our mental image of God. This is true not only of the individual Christian, but of the company of Christians that composes the Church.”

QUOTE - Philip Ryken
“On the basis of our election, we have a claim on God that the widow never had on the unjust judge. When we bring our helpless case before our great Judge, we are coming to a God who knows us and cares about us and has already planned to save us. Far from hindering our prayers, the doctrine of election gives us a more confident basis on which to pray. We have been chosen by God, and this assures us that he will hear us when we pray.”

QUOTE - J.C. Ryle
“Do we ever feel a secret inclination to hurry our prayers, or shorten our prayers, or become careless about our prayers, or omit our prayers altogether? Let us be sure, when we do, that it is a direct temptation from the devil. He is trying to sap and undermine the very citadel of our souls, and to cast us down to hell. Let us resist the temptation, and cast it behind our backs. Let us resolve to pray on steadily, patiently, perseveringly, and let us never doubt that it does us good.”
