I do not despair of the future. God forbid that I should do so. I believe in the almighty power of God to deliver us, even in the darkest hour … what He has done in time in the past He may do again. For this let us all agree to pray. A praying, interceding people are the very backbone of the church.

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 –
Christ has paid the full price for our redemption, but our walk with God on a daily basis will cost us much. Are we willing, cheerfully, to pay the cost?
