Salvation Army<\/b><\/p>\n
I will tell you the secret: God has had all that there was of me. There have been men with greater brains than I, even with greater opportunities, but from the day I got the poor of London on my heart and caught a vision of what Jesus Christ could do with me and them, on that day I made up my mind that God should have all of William Booth there was. And if there is anything of power in the Salvation Army, it is because God has had all the adoration of my heart, all the power of my will, and all the influence of my life. – William Booth<\/p>\n

Entire Surrender<\/b><\/p>\n
May not a single moment of my life be spent outside the light, love, and joy of God\u2019s presence and not a moment without the entire surrender of my self as a vessel for Him to fill full of His Spirit and His love.\u201d Andrew Murray<\/p>\n

Charles Spurgeon<\/b><\/p>\n
Charles Spurgeon was saved on January 6, 1850, and on February 1 he wrote the following prayer of consecration: O great and unsearchable God, who knowest my heart, and triest all my ways; with a humble dependence upon the support of Thy Holy Spirit, I yield up myself to Thee; as Thy own reasonable sacrifice, I return to Thee Thine own. I would be for ever, unreservedly, perpetually Thine; whilst I am on earth, I would serve Thee; and may I enjoy Thee and praise Thee for ever! Amen. <\/p>\n
Wycliffe, quoted in Handbook of Preaching & Preachers, W. Wiersbe, p. 235<\/p>\n
Christian Athletes<\/b><\/p>\n
At a meeting of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Bobby Richardson, former New York Yankee second baseman, offered a prayer that is a classic in brevity and poignancy: \u201cDear God, Your will, nothing more, nothing less, nothing else. Amen.\u201d<\/p>\n
