What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "Prayer: God, grant me your love."
Answer
When we pray to God in times of temptation and weakness, we may explicitly ask Him for His gentleness, humility, and divine love. By pouring out our hearts to God in prayer and reflecting on Christ’s great sacrifice, the Lord fills our souls with His indescribable love and peace. This love gifted by God becomes a living principle within us, reflecting His character and being passed on to our fellow humans.
A Prayer for God's Love and Assistance in Temptation
»If you are on the brink of giving in, losing patience and self‑control, becoming harsh and accusatory, seeking faults and making accusations – then it is time to send a prayer to Heaven: \"Help me, O God, to resist temptation, to banish all bitterness, all anger, and all evil speech from my heart. Grant me Your gentleness, Your humility, Your patience, and Your love. Let me not dishonor my Redeemer... Help me to be kind, compassionate, merciful, and forgiving... and to display the character of Christ to others.\«
Receiving and Experiencing God's Love in Prayer
»Rest completely in the hands of Jesus. Behold His great love... and your heart will be filled with holy joy, quiet peace, and indescribable love. When we speak of Jesus, when we call upon Him in prayer, our confidence grows that He is our personal, loving Redeemer... Wait in faith for the Lord. The Lord draws the soul to Himself in prayer and lets us feel His precious love. We have closeness to Him and can nurture a sweet fellowship with Him.«
Divine Love as a Living Principle in the Heart
»We are to remain in God and have God in us. Purity within us is like the purity in God; love in my heart is a living principle, like the love in God's heart; and all the treasures of heaven are at my command, because I am redeemed by the blood of the Lamb... He wants us to imitate His character, to admire Him – truly, pure, generous, and loving.«

Why I built EGW Vision
Hello, I am Stephan Krol. I started this Ellen White website to make the writings of Ellen G. White and the Adventist pioneers easier to access for everyone.
EGW Vision helps you find topics, statements, and quotes faster, especially when many original sources are not yet fully available in your language. The tool searches semantically, groups relevant content by topic, and presents matching results as clearly as possible in your language.
My hope is that this tool supports personal Bible study, strengthens trust in the original sources, and helps more people discover the message of these writings with clarity, depth, and joy.
