"It is a common temptation of Satan to make us give up the reading of the Word and prayer when our enjoyment is gone; as if it were of no use to read the Scriptures when we do not enjoy them, and as if it were no use to pray when we have no spirit of prayer. The truth is that in order to enjoy the Word, we ought to continue to read it, and the way to obtain a spirit of prayer is to continue praying. The less we read the Word of God, the less we desire to read it, and the less we pray, the less we desire to pray."

A few quotes from George Mueller.
“I saw more clearly than ever, that the first great and primary business to which I ought to attend every day was, to have my soul happy in the Lord. The first thing to be concerned about was not, how much I might serve the Lord, how I might glorify the Lord; but how I might get my soul into a happy state, and how my inner man may be nourished...I saw that the most important thing I had to do was to give myself to the reading of the Word of God and to meditation on it.”
“Intimate knowledge of God is possible if we habitually search His Holy Scriptures & translate what we find into obedience.”
“The word of God is our only standard, and the Holy Spirit our only teacher.”
“If the Holy Spirit guides us, He will do it according to the Scriptures and never contrary to them.”
“Our heavenly Father never takes anything from his children unless he means to give them something better.”
“Laying up treasures in heaven will draw the heart heavenward.”
“The individual who desires to have his sins forgiven must seek for it through the blood of Jesus. The individual who desires to get power over sin must likewise seek it through the blood of Jesus.”
"Be assured, if you walk with Him and look to Him, and expect help from Him, He will never fail you."
George Mueller
