'If you feel that you deserve an answer to prayer or a spiritual blessing from God because of your hard work or sacrifice, you are living by works, not by grace. But it is just as true that if you sometimes despair of experiencing God's blessing because of your demerits - the "oughts" you should have done but didn't or the "don'ts" you shouldn't have done but did - you are also casting aside the grace of God.'
- "Transforming Grace" by Jerry Bridges, pg. 35
