With all thy sins and imperfections, take this to thy comfort: if thy soul has no rest in sin, thou are not as the sinner is! If thou art still crying after and craving after something better, Christ has not forgotten thee, for thou hast not quite forgotten Him.
– Charles Spurgeon –
When a train goes through a tunnel and it gets dark, you don’t throw away the ticket and jump off. You sit still and trust the engineer.
– Corrie ten Boom –
Faith never knows where it is being led, but it loves and knows the One who is leading.
– Oswald Chambers –
Actually, faith is most reasonable. What is more reasonable than that a creature should trust his Creator? Is it insane to believe in One Who can neither lie nor fail nor err? To trust God is the most sensible, sane, rational thing that a man can do. It is no leap in the dark. Faith demands the surest evidence and finds it in God’s unfailing Word. No one has ever trusted Him in vain; no one ever will. Faith in the Lord involves no risk whatever.
– William MacDonald –
Prayer should be the means by which I, at all times, receive all that I need, and, for this reason, be my daily refuge, my daily consolation, my daily joy, my source of rich and inexhaustible joy in life.
– O. Hallesby –
from Prayer
God’s plan with most of us appears to be a design to make us flexible, twisting us this way and that, now giving, now taking; but always at work for and in us.
– Elizabeth Prentiss –
from More Love to Thee
It is true that all God requires of us we lack; but it is also true that all we need He supplies.
– Evan Hopkins –
All of my need He freely supplieth,
Day after day His goodness I prove;
Mercies unfailing, new every morning,
Tell me of God’s unchanging love.
– Thomas Chisholm –
from the hymn He Supplieth All of My Need
Unclaimed promises are like uncashed checks; they will keep us from bankruptcy, but not from want.
– Frances Ridley Havergal –
from Kept for the Master’s Use (1879)
