Why should I fear? I am on a Royal Mission. I am in the service of the King of kings.
Mary Slessor

Lord, the task is impossible for me but not for Thee. Lead the way and I will follow.
Mary Slessor
'My own strength is insufficient, yet Yours is boundless. Show me the path and I will obediently tread it.'

Christ never was in a hurry. There was no rushing forward, no anticipating, no fretting over what might be. Each day's duties were done as each day brought them, and the rest was left with God.
Mary Slessor
Christ never rushed; there was no haste, no foreseeing, no worrying about the future. Each day's work was handled as it came along and the rest was put in God's hands.

Prayer is the greatest power God has put into our hands for service - praying is harder than doing, at least I find it so, but the dynamic lies that way to advance the Kingdom.
Mary Slessor
Intercession is the greatest force God has conferred upon us for service - interceding is more difficult than acting, at least I experience it so, but the energy resides there to progress the Realm.

When you think of the woman's power, you forget the power of the woman's God. I shall go on.

My life is one long daily, hourly record of answered prayer. For physical health, for mental overstrain, for guidance given marvelously, for errors and dangers averted, for enmity to the Gospel subdued, for food provided at the exact hour needed, for everything that goes to make up life and my poor service. I can testify, with a full and often wonder-stricken awe, that I believe God answers prayer.

Oh Lord, I thank Thee that I can bring these people Thy Word. But Lord, there are other villages back in the jungle where no white man has gone. They need Jesus, too. Help me reach them!

If you play with temptation do not expect God will deliver you

13.
In Christ, we become new creatures. His life becomes ours. Take that word 'life' and turn it over and over and press it and try to measure it, and see what it will yield. Eternal life is a magnificent idea which comprises everything the heart can yearn after. Do not your hearts yearn for this life, this blessed and eternal life, which the Son of God so freely offers?
Mary Slessor
14.
What would I do with starry crowns except to cast them at His feet?

Pray on, dear one- the power lies that way
