prayer heart giving
Let us thank God heartily as often as we pray that we have His Spirit in us to teach us to pray. Thanksgiving will draw our hearts out to God and keep us engaged with Him; it will take our attention from ourselves and give the Spirit room in our hearts.
prayer men influence-and-power
Nowhere can we get to know the holiness of God, and come under His influence and power, except in the inner chamber. It has been well said: "No man can expect to make progress in holiness who is not often and long alone with God."
tennis mum wells
Well, my mum's been a tennis coach - she coached me till I was 12.
christian prayer past
The enemy uses all his power to lead the Christian, and above all the minister, to neglect prayer. He knows that however admirable the sermon may be, however attractive the service, however faithful the pastoral visitation, none of these things can damage him or his kingdom if prayer is neglected.
christian prayer men
The man who mobilizes the Christian church to pray will make the greatest contribution to world evangelization in history.
fun nice self
I don't go out of my way to get noticed. When I'm in Scotland it's tough, because loads of people come up to me. They're always really polite. It's nice, it's fun and good to speak to people who aren't involved in tennis, but some have this habit of just staring at me and that makes me really self-conscious. I'd rather they came up and said hello.
play years realised
I've realised over the years I play my best when I have time to prepare for each tournament as best as possible.
prayer mean abiding
Abiding fully means praying much.
winning focus feelings
It's hard because you want to be able to just, okay, focus your energy on trying to win the match, but you need to then have tactics as to how you're going to deal with how you're feeling.
stuff tvs watches
I never read. The paper or anything. I watch a lot of movies, and TV series and stuff. But I never, never read.
prayer father secret
Shut the world out, withdraw from all worldly thoughts and occupations, and shut yourself in alone with God, to pray to Him in secret. Let this be your chief object in prayer, to realize the presence of your heavenly Father.
prayer yield giving
Time spent in prayer will yield more than that given to work. Prayer alone gives work its worth and its success. Prayer opens the way for God Himself to do His work in us and through us. Let our chief work as God's messengers be intercession; in it we secure the presence and power of God to go with us.
thinking winning trying
It becomes tricky, and you start to think about the cramps rather than just actually what you're trying to do on the court, which is obviously win the match.
prayer asking may
Through His Spirit, the Spirit of prayer, our life may be one of continual prayer. The Spirit of prayer will help you become an intercessor, asking great things of God for those around you.
