Living a life of faith means never knowing where you are being led.

The strain of life is what builds our strength. If there is no strain, there will be no strength.

God brings you to places, among people, and into certain conditions to accomplish a definite purpose through the intercession of the Spirit in you. Your part in intercessory prayer is not to agonize over how to intercede, but to use the everyday circumstances and people God puts around you by His providence to bring them before His throne, and to allow the Spirit in you the opportunity to intercede for them. In this way God is going to touch the whole world with His saints.

If we have never had the experience of taking our commonplace religious shoes off our commonplace religious feet, and getting rid of all the undue familiarity with which we approach God, it is questionable whether we have ever stood in his presence.

We are in danger of forgetting that we cannot do what God does, and that God will not do what we can do.

Living a life of faith means never knowing where you are being led.

God does not exist to answer our prayers, but by our prayers we come to discern the mind of God.
