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.

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
The devil has made it his business to monopolize on three elements: noise, hurry, crowds. He will not allow quietness.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Business Devil Element Himself Noise Peace Quiet
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

Endurance Interrupt Ourselves Planning Schedule Wasted
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
Choices will continually be necessary and — let us not forget — possible. Obedience to God is always possible. It is a deadly error to fall into the notion that when feelings are extremely strong we can do nothing but act on them.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Act Choice Death Errors Feeling Forget Necessary Obedience Possible
The willingness to be and to have just what God wants us to be and have, nothing more, nothing less, and nothing else, would set our hearts at rest, and we would discover the simpler life, the greater peace.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Discover God Greatness Heart Life Peace Simplicity Willing
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
Today is mine. Tomorrow is none of my business. If I peer anxiously into the fog of the future I will strain my spiritual eyes so that I will not see clearly what is required of me now!
ELISABETH ELLIOT

A man will be as much of a gentleman as a woman requires.

We can’t really tell how crooked our thinking is until we line it up with the straight edge of Scripture.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

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

Action Feeling Myself
If it were not for uncertainties, we would have no need to walk by faith.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Faith Need Religious Uncertain Unknown Walk
Until the will and the affections are brought under the authority of Christ, we have not begun to understand, let alone to accept, His lordship.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Acceptance Affection Authority Beginning Understand
God has promised to supply all our needs. What we don’t have now, we don’t need now.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

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.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

End God Himself Journey Place Stop Travel
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.
