“Are you learning to say things after listening to God, or are you saying things and trying to make God’s word fit in?”

Remember Whose you are and Whom you serve.

When God gets us alone through suffering, heartbreak, temptation, disappointment, sickness, or by thwarted friendship – when He gets us absolutely alone, and we are totally speechless, unable to ask even one question, then He begins to teach us.

Never make the blunder of trying to forecast the way God is going to answer your prayer.

The peace that Jesus gives is never engineered by circumstances on the outside.

The root of all sin is the suspicion that God is not good.

There is no need to get to a place of prayer; pray wherever you are.

Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you cannot understand at the time.

I have chosen you!’ Keep that note of greatness in your creed. It is not that you have got God but that He has got you.

The greatest test of Christianity is the wear and tear of daily life; it is like the shining of silver: the more it is rubbed the brighter it grows.

Fretting springs from a determination to get our own way.

Get into the habit of saying, ”Speak, Lord,” and life will become a romance.

Trust God, and do the next thing.

The best measure of a spiritual life is not its ecstasies but its obedience.

The strain of life is what builds our strength. If there is no strain, there will be no strength.

The greatest test of a man’s character is his tongue.

God gives us the vision, then he takes us down to the valley to batter us into the shape of the vision, and it is in the valley that so many of us faint and give way. Every vision will be made real if we will have patience.

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.

Most of us know about God, but that is quite different from knowing God.

Anxiety is the natural result when our hopes are centered in anything short of God and His will.

I am never lonely when I am reading the Bible. Nothing dissolves loneliness like a session with God’s Word.

Prayer is the rope that pulls God and man together. But, it doesn’t pull God down to us: It pulls us up to Him.

Were it not for the consciousness of Christ in my life, hour by hour, I could not go on. But He is teaching me the glorious lessons of His sufficiency, and each day I am carried onward with no feeling of strain or fear of collapse.

You’ve never gone too far that God can’t redeem you, restore you, forgive you, and give you a second chance.

Anyone who truly loves God travels securely.
