Our future may look fearfully intimidating, yet we can look up to the Engineer of the Universe, confident that nothing escapes His attention or slips out of the control of those strong hands.

Elisabeth Elliot

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

Happiness Himself Love Myself Obedience Thinking
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
One does not surrender a life in an instant. That which is lifelong can only be surrendered in a lifetime.
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
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
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.

It is God to whom and with whom we travel, and while He is the end of our journey, He is also at every stopping place.

If it were not for uncertainties, we would have no need to walk by faith.

The secret is Christ in me, not me in a different set of circumstances.

If my life is surrendered to God, all is well. Let me not grab it back, as though it were in peril in His hand but would be safer in mine!
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Of one thing I am perfectly sure: God’s story never ends with ‘ashes.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

God never denies us our hearts desire except to give us something better.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Better Desire Expectation God Heart Ourselves
Heaven is not here, it’s There. If we were given all we wanted here, our hearts would settle for this world rather than the next. God is forever luring us up and away from this one, wooing us to Himself and His still invisible Kingdom, where we will certainly find what we so keenly long for
