There is nothing worth living for, unless it is worth dying for.

Elisabeth Elliot

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.

A whole lot of what we call ‘struggling’ is simply delayed obedience.
