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
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

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

To love God is to love His will. It is to wait quietly for life to be measured by One who knows us through and through. It is to be content with His timing and His wise appointment.

ELISABETH ELLIOT

Hands Leaving Wound Yourself
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
