Don't seek opportunity. Seek God and opportunity will seek you.
If you keep circling the promise, God will ultimately deliver on it.
You cannot be in the presence of God and be bored at the same time. For that matter, you cannot be in the will of God and be bored at the same time.
Prayer is not about letting God know your will; it's about completely submitting to him. You die to yourself.
If we do the ordinary, God will add an extra to it.
The plans of God are only revealed in the presence of God.
God is great not just because nothing is too big for Him. God is great because nothing is too small for Him, either.
Prayer is the difference between the best we can do and the best God can do.
When God blesses you financially, don't raise your STANDARD OF LIVING. raise your STANDARD OF GIVING.
Too often the word 'prayer' induces guilt because we don't do enough of it. After all, I've never met anyone who said they pray too much! All of us fall short. And we often feel like our prayers fall flat.
The greatest tragedy in life is that some prayers go unanswered as they go unasked.
Routines are normal, natural, healthy things. Most of us take a shower and brush our teeth every day. That is a good routine. Spiritual disciplines are routines. That is a good thing. But once routines become routine you need to change your routine.
Half of spiritual growth is learning what we don't know. The other half is unlearning what we do know.
It’s much easier to act like a Christian than it is to react like one!
