      It is good for me to draw near to God.
      PSALMS 73:28

      AND the sea of care grows still
      In the shining of Thy smile;
      And Thy love's all-quickening ray
      Chases night and pain away,
      That my heart grows light the while.
      WOLFGANG CHRISTOPH DESSLER

      IF we believe that God is always at hand, always ready to hear, surely we should take delight in telling Him all our little cares, and woes, and hopes, as they flit by.
      H. L. SEDNEY LEAR

      If you have not much time at your disposal, do not fail to profit by the smallest portions of time which remain to you. We do not need much time in order to love God, to renew ourselves in His Presence, to lift up our hearts towards Him, to worship Him in the depths of our hearts, to offer Him what we do and what we suffer.
      FRANCOIS DE LA MOTHE FÉNELON

      There is always time to look up to Him for His smile.
      F. B. MEYER

      These frequent looks of the heart exceedingly sweeten and sanctify our other employments, and diffuse somewhat of heaven through all our actions.
