When we ask God for a thing, such as that He would be pleased to raise up labourers for His harvest, or send means for the carrying on of His work, the honest question to be put to our hearts should be this: Am I willing to go, if He should call me? Am I willing to give according to my ability? For we may be the very persons whom the Lord will call for the work, or whose means He may wish to employ.
– George Muller –
We are not made holy for ourselves, but for God.

from If You Will Ask
When God leads your life, He will lead you safely home.
– Corrie ten Boom –
God’s purpose in your life is not prosperity, it is not your health, it is not wealth and more than anything, it is not to have your best life now. God’s purpose for you as His son is to make you holy and according to the image of Christ.
– Paul Washer –
Lord, give to me a quiet heart that does not ask to understand but confident steps forward in darkness guided by Thy Word.
– Elisabeth Elliot –
[Don’t] spend more time in analyzing, in collecting materials, and in hard thinking than on prayer, on seeking God’s mind, and on waiting for the power from above.
– Watchman Nee –
The mere fact itself that God’s will is irresistible and irreversible fills me with fear, but once I realize that God wills only that which is good, my heart is made to rejoice.
– AW Pink –
You become stronger only when you become weaker. When you surrender your will to God, you discover the resources to do what God requires.
– Erwin Lutzer –
God does not choose people because of their ability, but because of their availability.
