Leave it all in the Hands that were wounded for you

Elisabeth Elliot

The disciplined Christian will be very careful what sort of counsel he seeks from others. Counsel that contradicts the written Word is ungodly counsel. Blessed is the man that walketh not in that.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Blessing Care Discipline God Himself Man Seek Walk
When ours are interrupted, his are not. His plans are proceeding exactly as scheduled, moving us always (including those minutes or hours or years which seem most useless or wasted or unendurable).
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Endurance Interrupt Ourselves Planning Schedule Wasted
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

Answer Enough God Prayer Urgent
I have one desire now – to live a life of reckless abandon for the Lord, putting all my energy and strength into it.

Abandonment Desire Energy Life Live Myself Strength
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
Sometimes life is so hard you can only do the next thing.Whatever that is just do the next thing.God will meet you there.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

God Hard Life Time Yourself
One does not surrender a life in an instant. That which is lifelong can only be surrendered in a lifetime.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Instant Life Oneself Surrender Time
The life of faith is lived one day at a time, and it has to be lived – not always looked forward to as though the “real” living were around the next corner. It is today for which we are responsible. God still owns tomorrow.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Day Faith Life Live Reality Responsibility Time
If God, like a father, denies us what we want now it is in order to give us some far better thing later on. The will of God, we can rest assured, is invariably a better thing.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Better Father God Order Willing
If your goal is purity of heart, be prepared to be thought very odd.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Goal Heart Purity Thinking Yourself
The devil has made it his business to monopolize on three elements: noise, hurry, crowds. He will not allow quietness.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Business Devil Element Himself Noise Peace Quiet
A quiet heart is content with what God gives. It is enough. All is grace.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

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

Add Choice God Government Life Principle Willing World
I asked Him to give me the prayers He wants me to pray and to give or withhold anything according to his plan for me. Nothing is too big to ask of Him, not even an ocean lot. It is God’s business to decide if it is good for me. It is my business to obey Him.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Business God Himself Ocean Planning Prayer
Either we are adrift in chaos or we are individuals, created, loved, upheld and placed purposefully, exactly where we are. Can you believe that? Can you trust God for that?
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Creation God Love Place Purpose Trust Yourself
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.
