Quotes about Trust

God will put you in a position to wrestle with your identity and choose whom you believe: Him or you.

We're often intimidated in battle because we are uncertain of our faith. We must remember we don't stand in victory because of our faith. We stand in victory because of our God. Faith in faith is pointless. Faith in a living, active God moves mountains.

Beloved, are you being sifted? Has God permitted the enemy to launch a full-scale attack against you? God knows what He's doing. He isn't looking the other way, and He's not being mean to you. Maybe this is the only way He can get you to attend to the old so He can do something new. Grab onto Him for dear life! Give Him full reign to remove anything in you that needs to go. Hasten the end of the process. Sift, dear one. Sift!

But Father, You are my sole satisfaction, and I ask You to satisfy me this morning with Your unfailing love.

God will sometimes allow things to get bad enough that we will be forced to look up. Victory always begins with a cry for help. When we come to the end of ourselves and cry out for help, amazing things happen.

True prayer, not just mindless, halfhearted petitions, is what digs the well God wants to fill with faith.

A big difference exists between trying to manipulate God to give us what we want and cooperating with God so He can give us what He wants.

We need to recognize that lack of confidence does not equal humility. In fact, genuinely humble people have enormous confidence because it rests in a great God.
