You need never be discouraged or afraid. The way through difficulties has always been prepared for you, and you will find it if you exercise faith.

There is no place for faith if we expect God to fulfill immediately what he promises.

The thing about faith is that you have to have it before you need it.

Faith is about trusting God when you have unanswered questions.

God sometimes does His work with gentle drizzle, not storms.

In some ways, "waiting on the Lord" is the hardest part of trusting. It is not the same as "waiting around." It is putting yourself with utter vulnerability in his hands.

Etty spent her last days giving hope and care, "with a kind word for everyone she met on the way." Her final words were written on a postcard and thrown off Wagon No. 12, the railroad car she rode to what she knew would be her death in Auschwitz. "We left camp singing," she wrote. The Nazis took control of her possessions, her mobility, her work, her family, her body, and finally her life, yet she believed that they did not truly take anything at all.

And yet does the appetite for new days ever really cease?

Nature is always waiting, watching for you to lose faith so she can insert her fatal stitch

If God, like a father, denies us what we want now it is in order to give us some far better thing later on. The will of God, we can rest assured, is invariably a better thing.

Apprehension, uncertainty, waiting, expectation, fear of surprise, do a patient more harm than any exertion.

Humility does not mean weakness. It does not mean timidity. It does not mean fear. A man can be humble and fearless. A man can be humble and courageous.
