Friedrich A. Tholuck Quote – “If you cannot pray over a thing, don’t do that thing…”

If you cannot pray over a thing, and cannot ask God to bless you in it, don’t do that thing. A secret that you would keep from God is a secret that you should keep from your own heart. Open thy heart to God, if He be there, the outspread world will be thy book of prayer.

Friedrich A. Tholuck (1799 – 1877)
