We tend to use prayer as a last resort, but God wants it to be our first line of defense. We pray when there's nothing else we can do, but God wants us to pray before we do anything at all.
Most of us would prefer, however, to spend our time doing something that will get immediate results. We don't want to wait for God to resolve matters in His good time because His idea of 'good time' is seldom in sync with ours.
If through a broken heart God can bring His purposes to pass in the world, then thank Him for breaking your heart.
Faith never knows where it is being led, but it loves and knows the One who is leading.
The remarkable thing about God is that when you fear God, you fear nothing else, whereas if you do not fear God, you fear everything else.
Have you been asking God what He is going to do? He will never tell you. God does not tell you what He is going to do; He reveals to you Who He is.
We have to pray with our eyes on God, not on the difficulties.
Patience is more than endurance. A saint's life is in the hands of God like a bow and arrow in the hands of an archer. God is aiming at something the saint cannot see, and He stretches and strains, and every now and again the saint says--'I cannot stand anymore.' God does not heed, He goes on stretching till His purpose is in sight, then He lets fly. Trust yourself in God's hands. Maintain your relationship to Jesus Christ by the patience of faith. Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him.
Prayer does not fit us for the greater work; prayer is the greater work.
Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you may not understand at the time.
Don't forget to pray today because God did not forget to wake you up this morning.
Doubt is not always a sign that a man is wrong; it may be a sign that he is thinking.
God never gives us discernment in order that we may criticize, but that we may intercede.
[Oswald Chambers]
