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 –
Nothing is too great and nothing is too small to commit into the hands of the Lord.

If your dreams turn to dust. Vacuum.

It is not my ability, but my response to God’s ability, that counts.
– Corrie ten Boon –
Father, let me loose my clutch on everything temporal. My life, my reputation, my possessions, Lord, let me loose the tension of the grasping hand. Open my hand to receive the nail of Calvary, as Christ’s was opened. He thought Heaven, yea, equality with God, not a thing to be clutched at. So let me release my grasp.
– Jim Elliot –
God has not always answered my prayers. If he had, I would’ve married the wrong man—several times!

Trust is faith that has become absolute, approved, and accomplished. When all is said and done, there is a sort of risk in faith and its exercise. But trust is firm belief; it is faith in full bloom. Trust is a conscious act, a fact of which we are aware.
– EM Bounds –
You find no difficulty in trusting the Lord with the management of the universe and all the outward creation, and can your case be any more difficult than these, that you need to be anxious about His management of it?
– Hannah Whitall Smith –
Faith is a living and unshakable confidence. A belief in God so assured that a man would die a thousand deaths for its sake.
– Martin Luther –
