It is a common temptation of Satan to make us give up the reading of the Word and prayer when our enjoyment is gone; as if it were of no use to read the Scriptures when we do not enjoy them, and as if it were no use to pray when we have no spirit of prayer. ~ George Müller

George Müller

There was a day when I died; died to self, my opinions, preferences, tastes and will; died to the world, its approval or censure; died to the approval or blame of even my brethren or friends; and since then I have studied only to show myself approved unto God. ~George Müller

Individuals who have chosen not to live for the present time but for eternity will have the opportunity to help me care for these children. It is a great honor to be allowed to do anything for the Lord. When they day of recompense comes, our only regret will be that we have done so little for Him, not that we have done too much. ~George Müller, Autobiography, p 225

George Müller on the Word and prayer

The first thing I did, after having ask in a few words the Lord’s blessings upon His precious Word, was to begin to meditate on the Word of God, searching as it were into every verse to get blessing out of it; not for the sake of the public ministry of the Word, not for the sake of preaching on what I had meditate upon, but for the sake of obtaining food for my own soul. The result I have found to be almost invariably this, that after a very few minutes my soul has been led to confession, or to thanksgiving or to intercession, yet it turned almost immediately more or less into prayer. ~George Müller
