Let all those that seek Thee rejoice and be glad in Thee; let such as love Thy salvation say continually, The Lord be magnified. PSALMS 40:16
Then will I go unto the altar of God; unto God, my exceeding joy. PSALMS 43:4
WE doubt the word that tells us: Ask, And ye shall have your prayer; We turn our thoughts as to a task, With will constrained and rare.
And yet we have; these scanty prayers Yield gold without alloy; 0 God, but he who trusts and dares Must have a boundless joy! GEORGE MACDONALD
TELL them that, until religion cease to be a burden, it is nothing,--until prayer cease to be a weariness, it is nothing. However difficult and however imperfect, the spirit must still rejoice in it. EDWARD IRVING
From a weary laborer, worn with slavish and ineffectual toil, I had become as a little child receiving from God the free gift of eternal life and of daily sustenance; and prayer, from a weary spiritual exercise, had become the simple asking from the Heavenly Father of daily bread, and thanking Him.
