Our anxiety shows us that we are too close to the world and too far from God.

Dependence
Why I am no longer anxious about anything – Hudson Taylor
I am no longer anxious about anything, as I realize the Lord is able to carry out His will, and His will is mine. It makes no matter where He places me, or how that is rather for Him to consider than for me; for in the easiest positions He must give me His grace, and in the most difficult, His grace is sufficient.
– Hudson Taylor –
Full of Christ – Unknown
I want to be so full of Christ that if a mosquito bites me, it flies away singing “There is Power in the Blood”

Guidance Demands Obedience – Elisabeth Elliot
Does it make sense to pray for guidance about the future if we are not obeying in the thing that lies before us today? How many momentous events in Scripture depended on one person’s seemingly small act of obedience! Rest assured: Do what God tells you to do now, and, depend upon it, you will be shown what to do next.
– Elisabeth Elliot –
God’s Great Men and Women – Hudson Taylor
God’s giants have been weak men who did great things for God, because they reckoned on God’s being with them.

My response to God’s ability – Corrie ten Boon
It is not my ability, but my response to God’s ability, that counts.

God, Go With Me – David Livingstone
God, send me anywhere, only go with me. Lay any burden on me, only sustain me. And sever any tie in my heart except the tie that binds my heart to Yours.”
– David Livingstone –
A mighty longing after God – AW Tozer
I want deliberately to encourage this mighty longing after God. The lack of it has brought us to our present low estate. The stiff and wooden quality about our religious lives is a result of our lack of holy desire. Complacency is a deadly foe of all spiritual growth. Acute desire must be present or there will be no manifestation of Christ to His people. He waits to be wanted. Too bad that with many of us He waits so long, so very long, in vain.

The Hardest Thing in Your Life – Lilias Trotter
Take the very hardest thing in your life – the place of difficulty, outward or inward, and expect God to triumph gloriously in that very spot. Just there He can bring your soul into blossom.
