Sometimes life is so hard you can only do the next thing.Whatever that is just do the next thing.God will meet you there.

Elisabeth Elliot

When ours are interrupted, his are not. His plans are proceeding exactly as scheduled, moving us always (including those minutes or hours or years which seem most useless or wasted or unendurable).
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Waiting on God requires the willingness to bear uncertainty, to carry within oneself the unanswered question, lifting the heart to God about it whenever it intrudes upon one’s thoughts.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

God Oneself Thinking Uncertain Wait Willing
A whole lot of what we call ‘struggling’ is simply delayed obedience.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Obedience Simplicity Struggle

Sometimes God’s refusals are His mercies.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

God Himself Mercy Perspective Rejection Time
Our vision is so limited we can hardly imagine a love that does not show itself in protection from suffering. The love of God is of a different nature altogether. It does not hate tragedy. It never denies reality. It stands in the very teeth of suffering.

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.

Faith’s most severe tests come not when we see nothing, but when we see a stunning array of evidence that seems to prove our faith vain.
