When he had failed in his duty, he simply confessed his fault, saying to God, "I shall never do otherwise if Thou leavest me to myself; it is Thou who must hinder my falling, and mend what is amiss." After this, he gave himself no further uneasiness about it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6626</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I do desire we may be better strangers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11959]]></link><description><![CDATA[I do desire we may be better strangers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11959</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God deliver me from the venom of the cobra, the toothof the tiger, and the vengeance of the Afghan. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47956]]></link><description><![CDATA[God deliver me from the venom of the cobra, the toothof the tiger, and the vengeance of the Afghan.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47956</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Continuing a short series on prayer:   We know that the wind blows; why should we not know that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8222]]></link><description><![CDATA[Continuing a short series on prayer:   We know that the wind blows; why should we not know that God answers prayer? I reply, What if God does not care to have you know it at second-hand? What if there would be no good in that? There is some testimony on record, and perhaps there might be much more were it not that, having to do with things so immediately personal, and generally so delicate, answers to prayer would naturally not often be talked about; but no testimony concerning the thing can well be conclusive; for, like a reported miracle, there is always some way to daff it; and besides, the conviction to be got that way is of little value: it avails nothing to know the thing by the best of evidence... `But if God is so good as you represent Him, and if He knows all that we need, and better far than we do ourselves, why should it be necessary to ask Him for anything?" In answer, What if He knows prayer to be the thing we need first and most? What if the main object in God's idea of prayer be the supplying of our great, our endless need -- the need of Himself?
