What God gives in answer to our prayers will always be the thing we most urgently need, and it will always be sufficient.

Elisabeth Elliot

The willingness to be and to have just what God wants us to be and have, nothing more, nothing less, and nothing else, would set our hearts at rest, and we would discover the simpler life, the greater peace.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Discover God Greatness Heart Life Peace Simplicity Willing
Waiting on God requires the willingness to bear uncertainty, to carry within oneself the unanswered question, lifting the heart to God about it whenever it intrudes upon one’s thoughts.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

God Oneself Thinking Uncertain Wait Willing
Heaven is not here, it’s There. If we were given all we wanted here, our hearts would settle for this world rather than the next. God is forever luring us up and away from this one, wooing us to Himself and His still invisible Kingdom, where we will certainly find what we so keenly long for
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Forever God Heart Heaven Himself Settle World
Choices will continually be necessary and — let us not forget — possible. Obedience to God is always possible. It is a deadly error to fall into the notion that when feelings are extremely strong we can do nothing but act on them.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Act Choice Death Errors Feeling Forget Necessary Obedience Possible
Worship is not an experience. Worship is an act, and this takes discipline. We are to worship ”in spirit and in truth.” Never mind about the feelings. We are to worship in spite of them.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Act Discipline Experience Feeling Mindset Worship
When obedience to God contradicts what I think will give me pleasure, let me ask myself if I love Him.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Happiness Himself Love Myself Obedience Thinking
You will never understand why God does what He does, but if you believe Him, that is all that is necessary. Let us learn to trust Him for who He is.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Believe God Himself Necessary Understand
We can’t really tell how crooked our thinking is until we line it up with the straight edge of Scripture.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Ourselves Scripture Thinking
Where does your security lie? Is God your refuge, your hiding place, your stronghold, your shepherd, your counselor, your friend, your redeemer, your saviour, your guide? If He is, you don’t need to search any further for security.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Today is mine. Tomorrow is none of my business. If I peer anxiously into the fog of the future I will strain my spiritual eyes so that I will not see clearly what is required of me now!
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Business Eyes Future Myself Present See Spiritual
God has promised to supply all our needs. What we don’t have now, we don’t need now.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

The fact that I am a woman does not make me a different kind of Christian, but the fact that I am a Christian makes me a different kind of woman.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Different Fact Kind Myself Religion Woman
I’m convinced that there is nothing that can happen to me in this life that is not precisely designed by a sovereign Lord to give me the opportunity to learn to know Him.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Design Himself Learning Life Myself Opportunity
If my life is surrendered to God, all is well. Let me not grab it back, as though it were in peril in His hand but would be safer in mine!
ELISABETH ELLIOT
