Quote by J. C. Ryle

“Without the blessing of the Lord, your best endeavors will do no good. He has the hearts of all men in His hands, and except He touch the hearts of your children by His Spirit, you will weary yourself to no purpose. Water, therefore, the seed you sow on their minds with unceasing prayer.”

When thus convinced, and not before, he seeks help from the only source whence it can be obtained.”
