It is a mistake to look for grace to visit us as a kind of benign magic, or to expect God’s help to come as a windfall apart from conditions known & met. To desire revival, for instance, and at the same time to neglect prayer & devotion is to wish one way and walk another.

—John Flavel
Your heart may be kept from shrinking back at [death] by considering the necessity of death, in order to the full fruition of God. Whether you are willing to die or not, I assure you there is no other way to obtain the full satisfaction of your soul and complete its happiness.

Do not ask God to show you His will and then open your Bible at random and put your finger upon some text and take it out its connection without any relation to its real meaning and decide the will of God in that way. This is an irreverent and improper use of Scripture.
