Depending on God in Everything
"Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed" (Proverbs 16:3).
Seek entirely to depend on God for everything. Put yourself and your work into His hands. When thinking of any new undertaking, ask: "Is this agreeable to the mind of God? Is it for His glory?".
If it is not for His glory, it is not for your good, and you must have nothing to do with it. Mind that! Having settled that a certain course is for the glory of God, begin it in His name, and continue it to the end. Pray, pray, pray!
Undertake it in prayer and faith, and never give up! Pray, pray, pray! Do not regard iniquity in your heart. If you do, the Lord will not hear you. Keep that before you always. Then trust in God. Depend only on God. Wait on Him. Believe on Him. Expect great things from Him. Faint not if the blessing tarries. Pray, pray, pray!
And, above all, rely only upon the merits of our ever-adorable Lord and Savior, that, according to His infinite merits, and not your own, the prayers you offer and the work 'you do, will be accepted. (George Müller).
