When I put God first, God takes care of me and energizes me to do what really needs to be done.

We can face whatever circumstances await us with courage if we just reflect on God's faithfulness and place our confidence in His great power and loving purpose for our lives.

To fight fear, act. To increase fear--wait, put off postpone.

God, send me anywhere, only go with me. Lay any burden on me, only sustain me. And sever any tie in my heart except the tie that binds my heart to Yours.

There is one safe and happy place, and that is in the will of God.

I long with intense desire to move on and finish my work, I have also an excessive wish to find anything that may exist proving the visit of the great Moses and the ancient kingdom of Tirhaka, but I pray give me just what pleases Thee my Lord, and make me submissive to Thy will in all things.

18th April, 1872.—I pray the good Lord of all to favor me so as to allow me to discover the ancient fountains of Herodotus, and if there is anything in the underground excavations to confirm the precious old documents, the Scriptures of truth, may He permit me to bring it to light, and give me wisdom to make a proper use of it.

Don't worry about locating your purpose. If you are seeking after God, your purpose will locate you.

Great moves of God are usually preceded by simple acts of obedience.

No circumstance, person, or difficulty can stop the plans and the promises of God.

Don't let not knowing how it'll end keep you from beginning. Uncertainty chases us out into the open where God is waiting.

God leads every soul by a separate path.
