We live, in fact, in a world starved for solitude, silence, and private: and therefore starved for meditation and true friendship.     Author: C.S. Lewis     Source: The Weight of Glory When you cease from labour, fill up your time in reading, meditation, and prayer: and while your hands are labouring, let your heart be employed, as much as possible, in divine thoughts.     Author: David Brainerd It is doing some service to humanity, to amuse innocently. They know but little of society who think we can bear to be always employed, either in duties or meditation, without relaxation.     Author: Hannah More The constant habit of perusing devout books is so indispensable, that it has been termed the oil of the lamp of prayer. Too much reading, however, and too little meditation, may produce the effect of a lamp inverted; which is extinguished by the very excess of that aliment, whose property is to feed it.     Author: Hannah More Meditation is the tongue of the soul and the language of our spirit; and our wandering thoughts in prayer are but the neglects of meditation and recessions from that duty; according as we neglect meditation, so are our prayers imperfect, - meditation being the soul of prayer and the intention of our spirit.     Author: Jeremy Taylor It is not hasty reading, but seriously meditating upon holy and heavenly truths that makes them prove sweet and profitable to the soul. It is not the bee's touching on the flowers that gathers the honey, but her abiding for a time upon them, and drawing out the sweet. It is not he that reads most, but he that meditates most on divine truth, that will prove the choicest, wisest, strongest Christian.     Author: Joseph Hall Some women will spend thirty minutes to an hour preparing for church externally (putting on special clothes and makeup, etc.). What would happen if we all spent the same amount of time preparing internally for church - with prayer and meditation?     Author: Leonard Ravenhill Meditation is the soul's perspective glass, whereby, in her long removes, she discerneth God, as if he were nearer at hand.     Author: Owen Feltham An unschooled man who knows how to meditate upon the Lord has learned far more than the man with the highest education who does not know how to meditate.     Author: Charles Stanley I'm convinced that the man who has learned to meditate upon the Lord will be able to run on his feet and walk in his spirit. Although he may be hurried by his vocation, that's not the issue. The issue is how fast his spirit is going. To slow it down takes a period of time.     Author: Charles Stanley If we rationalize our problems when He points them out, we will spend less and less time meditating because we won't want to face God in that area of our lives.     Author: Charles Stanley The amount of time we spend with Jesus - meditating on His Word and His majesty, seeking His face - establishes our fruitfulness in the kingdom.     Author: Charles Stanley
