Self Grace Unbroken

More From Abraham Lincoln

We have been preserved, these many years, in peace and prosperity. we have grown in numbers, wealth and power, as no other nation has ever grown. but we have forgotten god. we have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us; and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the god that made us!

Urge all of your men to pray, not alone in church, but everywhere. pray when driving. pray when fighting. pray alone. pray with others. pray by night and pray by day. pray for the cessation of immoderate rains, for good weather for battle.pray for the defeat of our wicked enemy whose banner is injustice and whose good is oppression. pray for victory. pray for our army, and pray for peace. we must march together, all out for god.

Traveling is a fool's paradise. our first journeys discover to us the indifference of places. at home i dream that at naples, at rome, i can be intoxicated with beauty, and lose my sadness. i pack my trunk, embrace my friends, embark on the sea, and at last wake up in naples, and there beside me is the stern fact, the sad self, unrelenting, identical, that i fled from. i seek the vatican, and the palaces. i affect to be intoxicated with sights and suggestions, but i am not intoxicated. my giant goes with me wherever i go.

The ultimate difference between god's wisdom and man's wisdom is how they relate to the glory of god's grace in christ crucified. god's wisdom makes the glory of god's grace our supreme treasure. but man's wisdom delights in seeing himself as resourceful, self-sufficient, self determining, and not utterly dependent on god's free grace.

If your life is in disarray and you feel uncomfortable and unworthy to pray because you are not clean, don't worry. he already knows about all of that. he is waiting for you to kneel in humility and take the first few steps. pray for strength. pray for others to be led to support you and guide you and lift you. pray that the love of the savior will pour into your heart. pray that the miracle of the atonement will bring forgiveness because you are willing to change. i know that those prayers will be answered, for god loves you. his son gave his life for you. i know they will help you.

Let us pray for ourselves, that we may not lose the word “concern” out of our christian vocabulary. let us pray for our nation. let us pray for those who have never known jesus christ and redeeming love, for moral forces everywhere, for our national leaders. let prayer be our passion. let prayer be our practice.

Similar Quotes

If the gospel and the apostles may be credited, no man can be a christian without charity, and without that faith which works, not by force, but by love.

The word 'christian' means different things to different people. to one person it means a stiff, upright, inflexible way of life, colorless and unbending. to another it means a risky, surprised-filled adventure, lived tiptoe at the edge of expectation...if we get our information from the biblical material, there is no doubt that the christian life is a dancing, leaping, daring life.

Dear young people, do not be mediocre; the christian life challenges us with great ideals!

His grace is cheapened when you think that he has only forgiven you of your sins up to the time you got saved, and after that point, you have to depend on your confession of sins to be forgiven. god's forgiveness is not given in installments.
