He Cares for His own

It's a humbling experience to see God move in answer to the prayers of His people.... ...we have a God who responds to the faith and needs of His children. Even though He is mighty and awesome, sovereign and omnipotent, yet He is the gentle Shepherd who cares for His own. He is always there. Always.

Man, God Loves You

Man, do you know how much God loves you?! God is crazy about you! God looks forward to talking with you, and answering your prayers. God loves you!

Answered Prayer

The prayers you offer in loneliness, in weariness, in trial, God answers - not always according to your expectations, but always for your good.

Our Prayers Cannot Die Away

Amid the anthems of the celestial choir, God hears the cries of the weakest human being. 

...They may be inaudible to any human ear, but they cannot die away into silence, nor can they be lost through the activities of business that are going on. 

Nothing can drown the soul’s desire.

True Story

Having read that many people die without hope in the resurrection, I pray nightly for the Lord to be with all those who are dying, to comfort them and their families, and to save them all in His Kingdom.  

Years ago I awoke with the impression that my California friend, actor James Stewart, was dying.  I prayed for the Lord to be very near to James, and for him to ask and receive forgiveness of his sins.

An hour later I felt peace that James was safe and fell back asleep.  The next morning I learned James had died during the night.  Though sad I believe Jimmy Stewart will be resurrected at Jesus’ Second Coming.

This all reminds me how important  each of us to God. How much He cares about each one of us!

A Person of Power - the Secret of Success

The secret of success is the union of the divine power with human effort. 

Those who achieve the greatest results are those who rely most implicitly upon God's strength.

The man who commanded the sun to stand still ....is the man who for hours lay prostrate upon the earth in prayer in the camp of Gilgal.

The man [or woman] of prayer is the man [woman] of power!

Dear Friend

Dear Friend: God loves you so much. Go to Him with your problems, your worries, your heartbreak. He understands. He will not judge you. He will help you. He is your best Friend - your Friend forever. Trust Him!

GOD DOESN'T USE FORCE

God is so powerful that He could force us to love Him, but
God doesn’t use force, because He loves us and wants us to love Him back.
 Even if you hate God – He still loves you.


Bad things happen to good people – it’s because of sin,
not because God hates you. God loves everyone. The devil hates everyone.
 You don’t believe in God? He believes in you!
Trust yourself to God – He will care for you.


God planned for you before the world began. He longs for you to talk to Him about everything that is on your mind. God always listens. 
I go to Him with all my problems and He always looks after me. As a small child I learned these things – it made all the difference in my life.


Often your mind may be
Clouded because of pain.
Then do not try to think.
You know that Jesus loves you!
He understands you.
You may do His will by simply
Resting in His arms.


Jesus determined, (in council with His Father), to do everything possible - no matter the cost - to rescue sinners. Jesus loves you more than He values His own life – He died for you!

Habit of Talking...

Cultivate the habit of talking with the Saviour when you are alone, when you are walking, and when you are busy with your daily labor.

Ministry of Healing 510-511 (1905 E G White)

In Answer to the Prayer of Faith

It is a part of God’s plan to grant us, in answer to the prayer of faith, that which He would not bestow did we not thus ask.

The Great Controversy 525 E G White

Angel Protection

We may, through the exercise of faith and prayer, call to our side a retinue of Heavenly angels, who will guard us from every corrupting influence.

Our High Calling 23 (1961, posthumous compilation, E G White)

Do not Neglect Secret Prayer

Do not neglect secret prayer, for it is the soul of religion. With earnest, fervent prayer, plead for purity of soul. Plead as earnestly, as eagerly, as you would for your mortal life, were it at stake.
Testimonies Vol. 1, 163 (1885, E G White)

God always hears Our Cries

Amid the anthems of the celestial choir, God hears the cries of the weakest human being.

 We pour out our heart’s desire in our closets, we breathe a prayer as we walk by the way, and our words reach the throne of the Monarch of the Universe

. [Our prayers] may be inaudible to any human ear, but they cannot die away into silence, nor can they be lost through the activities of business that are going on.

   Nothing can drown the soul’s desire. 

  Christ’s Object Lessons 177, E G White

PRAY !

The Lord is disappointed when His people place a low estimate on themselves. Desire of Ages 668

Prayer is Heaven’s ordained means of success in the conflict with sin and the development of Christian character. Acts of the Apostles 564

When we come to Him in faith, every petition enters the heart of God. When we have asked for His blessing, we should believe that we receive it, and thank Him that we have received it. Then we are to go about our duties assured that the blessing will be realized when we need it most. Desire of Ages 200

When every other voice is hushed, and in quietness we wait before Him, the silence of the soul makes more distinct the voice of God. Desire of Ages 363

Make every effort to keep the communion between Jesus and your own soul. Steps to Christ 98


all quotes by E G White

A PRAYER

Lord, take my heart, For I cannot give it. It is Thy property.
Keep it pure, For I cannot keep it for Thee.
Save me in spite of my weak, unchristlike self.
Mold me, fashion me,
Raise me into a pure and holy atmosphere,
Where the rich current of Thy love can flow through my soul.

Christ’s Object Lessons 159, E G WHITE

However Feeble

Never a prayer is offered, however faltering;
never a tear is shed, however secret;
 never a sincere desire after God is cherished, however feeble,
but the Spirit of God goes forth to meet it.

Christ's Object Lessons, p 208-209, E G White

Opening the Heart to God

“Prayer is the opening of the heart to God as to a friend.

"In the secret place of prayer, where no eye but God’s can see, no ear but His can hear, we may pour out our most hidden desires and longings to the Father of infinite pity; and in the hush and silence of the soul, that Voice which never fails to answer the cry of human need, will speak to our hearts." Signs of the Times, January 29, 1902, paragraph 1

The Guiding Hand

To all who are reaching out to feel the guiding hand of God, the moment of greatest discouragement is the time when Divine help is nearest. Desire of Ages 528


In [Heaven] the mysteries that here [on earth] have annoyed and disappointed us will be made plain. We shall see that our seemingly unanswered prayers and disappointed hopes have been among our greatest blessings. Ministry of Healing 474
