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
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!

The will of God is not something you add to your life. It’s a course you choose. You either line yourself up with the Son of God, or you capitulate to the principle which governs the rest of the world.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

The will of God is never exactly what you expect it to be. It may seem to be much worse, but in the end it’s going to be a lot better and a lot bigger.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Better Big End Expectation God Willing
A whole lot of what we call ‘struggling’ is simply delayed obedience.

Teach me to treat all that comes to me with peace of soul and with firm conviction that Your will governs all.
ELISABETH ELLIOT
