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

Elisabeth Elliot

What I ought to do and what I feel like doing are seldom the same thing.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Action Feeling Myself
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

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.

When obedience to God contradicts what I think will give me pleasure, let me ask myself if I love Him.

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
