The morning quiet time

‘Over and over again I have risen at the beginning of a new day feeling utterly inadequate for the tasks awaiting me, tired in body, dull in mind, and defeated in spirit; but the renewal, in the quiet, of touch with the living God, has recreated me and restored my energies, physical, mental and spiritual.

My experience over the years has taught me that this quiet hour spent with God day by day is an unfailing secret of power, progress, purpose and peace.’ – Jack Winslow
