Why do so many Christians pray such tiny prayers when their God is so big?
Watchman NeeWatchman Nee Everyone who believes in God must have His revelation in his spirit, or else what he believes is not God but mere human wisdom, ideals or words. Such faith cannot endure the test.
Watchman NeeWatchman Nee I do not consecrate myself to be a missionary or a preacher.
Watchman NeeWatchman Nee The right attitude is this: that I have my own will, yet I will the will of God.
Watchman NeeWatchman Nee Lord, I am willing to break my heart in order that I may satisfy Thy heart!
Watchman NeeWatchman Nee The Blood deals with what we have done, whereas the Cross deals with what we are. The Blood disposes of our sins, while the Cross strikes at the root of our capacity for sin.
Watchman NeeWatchman Nee Prayer is the acid test of the inner man’s strength. A strong spirit is capable of praying much and praying with all perseverance until the answer comes. A weak one grows weary and fainthearted in the maintenance of praying.

Watchman NeeWatchman Nee Our bread is not only the Word of God, our meat is not only to do His will, our bread is also…the difficulties that are in our way.
Watchman NeeWatchman Nee We should understand that the body is for the Lord and not for ourselves; hence we should refrain from using it for our pleasure.
Watchman NeeWatchman Nee Let us ask Him to deliver us from the many external and fragmentary affairs that we may touch only Him.
Watchman NeeWatchman Nee The sight of any trouble strikes terror into the heart of those who do not have faith, but those who trust Him say, ‘Here comes my food.!
Watchman NeeWatchman Nee Numerous Christians do not know how to glorify God in their eating and drinking. They do not eat and drink simply to keep their body fit for the Lord’s use but indulge to satisfy their personal desires.
Watchman NeeWatchman Nee Prayer enables us first inwardly to overcome the enemy and then outwardly to deal with him.
Watchman NeeWatchman Nee Whatever the mind sets itself on is what the man walks after.
Watchman NeeWatchman Nee To keep our hand on the plow while wiping away our tears — THAT is Christianity!

Watchman NeeWatchman Nee But the consecration that doesn’t reach your purse has not reached your heart.
