God, I pray light these idle sticks of my life and may I burn up for thee.

He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.

Rest in this - it is His business to lead, command, impel, send, call... It is your business to obey, follow, move, respond.

The will of God is always a bigger thing than we bargain for, but we must believe that whatever it involves, it is good, acceptable and perfect.

God always gives His best to those who leave the choice with him.

God, I pray Thee, light these idle sticks of my life and may I burn for Thee. Consume my life, my God, for it is Thine. I seek not a long life, but a full one, like you, Lord Jesus.

Lord, give me firmness without hardness, steadfastness without dogmatism, love without weakness.

Forgive me for being so ordinary while claiming to know so extraordinary a God.

Lord, make my way prosperous not that I achieve high station, but that my life be an exhibit to the value of knowing God.

Father, make of me a crisis man. Bring those I contact to decision. Let me not be a milepost on a single road; make me a fork, that men must turn one way or another on facing Christ in me.

Always seek peace between your heart and God, but in this world, always be careful to remain ever-restless, never satisfied, and always abounding in the work of the Lord.

A soldier of the Legion lay dying in Algiers, There was a lack of woman's nursing, there was dearth of woman's tears; But a comrade stood beside him, while his lifeblood ebbed away.

Your mind is like a sponge, in the sense that it would come in handy when cleaning off a countertop or something like that.

Because what if I got to know you and you turned out to be just like they said? What if you weren’t the person I hoped you were? That, more than anything, would have hurt the most.

Feeling sad about anything is holding onto it. Say, 'This is something I have to let go of,' and immediately you will feel better.

I think the challenge is to takedifficult and painful times and turn them into something beneficial, something that makes you grow.

The Church of Christ, therefore, is one and the same forever.
