Maxims #1

God always fills in all hearts all the room which is left Him there.
                                                                                        ~ F. W. Faber


The soul which gives itself wholly and without reserve to God is filled with His own peace; and the closer we draw to our God, so much the stronger and more steadfast and tranquil shall we become.
                                                                                        ~ Jean Nicolas Grou


Be persuaded, timid soul, that He has loved you too much to cease loving you.
                                                                                        ~ Fenelon


The spirit of prayer is pressing forth of the soul out of this earthly life; it is a stretching with all its desire after the life of God, to be one life, one love, one spirit with Christ in God.
                                                                                        ~ William Law


A low standard of prayer means a low standard of character and a low standard of service. Those alone labor effectively among men who impetuously fling themselves upward towards God.
                                                                                        ~ Charles H. Brent


Pray hardest when it is hardest to pray.
                                                                                        ~ Charles H. Brent
