There Is Never Any Peace

True Piety Hath In It Nothing Weak, Nothing Sad, Nothing Constrained. It Enlarges The Heart; It Is Simple, Free, And Attractive.

The Christian Life Is A Long And Continual Tendency Of Our Hearts Toward That Eternal Goodness Which We Desire On Earth. All Our Happiness Consists In Thirsting For It. Now This Thirst Is Prayer. Ever Desire To Approach Your Creator, And You Will Never Cease To Pray. Do Not Think It Necessary To Pronounce Many Words.

O Lord! Take My Heart, For I Cannot Give It; And When Thou Hast It, O! Keep It, For I Cannot Keep It For Thee; And Save Me In Spite Of Myself, For Jesus Christ's Sake.

Resign Every Forbidden Joy; Restrain Every Wish That Is Not Referred To God's Will; Banish All Eager Desires, All Anxiety; Desire Only The Will Of God; Seek Him Alone And Supremely, And You Will Find Peace.

This Poor World, The Object Of So Much Insane Attachment, We Are About To Leave; It Is But Misery, Vanity, And Folly; A Phantom--the Very Fashion Of Which "passeth Away.
