Prayer lays hold of God's plan and becomes the link between His will and its accomplishment on earth. Amazing things happen, and we are given the privilege of being the channels of the Holy Spirit's prayer.

More quotes by Elisabeth Elliot
We have ample evidence that the Lord is able to guide. The promises cover every imaginable situation. All we need to do is to take the hand he stretches out.
Elisabeth Elliot
There is something that pretends to be christianity which is mostly mood. The measure of its faith is merely the measure of its feeling.
Elisabeth Elliot
The cross means suffering. Suffering's meaning is to be learned through the cross.
Elisabeth Elliot
Our vision is so limited we can hardly imagine a love that does not show itself in protection from suffering.... The love of God did not protect His own Son.... He will not necessarily protect us - not from anything it takes to make us like His Son. A lot of hammering and chiseling and purifying by fire will have to go into the process.
Elisabeth Elliot
Freedom begins way back. It begins not with doing what you want but with doing what you ought - that is, with discipline.
Elisabeth Elliot
The world is full of noise. Might we not set ourselves to learn silence, stillness solitude?
Elisabeth Elliot
Waiting on God requires the willingness to bear uncertainty, to carry within oneself the unanswered question, lifting the heart to God about it whenever it intrudes upon one's thoughts.
Elisabeth Elliot
Accept your loneliness. It is one stage, and only one stage, on a journey that brings you to God. It will not always last. Offer up your loneliness to God, as the little boy offered to Jesus his five loaves and two fishes. God can transform it for the good of others. Above all, do something for somebody else!
Elisabeth Elliot
Everything if given to God can become your gateway to joy.
Elisabeth Elliot
We want to avoid suffering, death, sin, ashes. But we live in a world crushed and broken and torn, a world God Himself visited to redeem. We receive his poured-out life, and being allowed the high privilege of suffering with Him, may then pour ourselves out for others.
Elisabeth Elliot
It is impossible to love deeply without sacrifice.
Elisabeth Elliot
Worship is not an experience. Worship is an act, and this takes discipline. We are to worship ''in spirit and in truth.'' Never mind about the feelings. We are to worship in spite of them.
Elisabeth Elliot
Self-pity is... a sinkhole from which no rescuing hand can drag you because you have chosen to sink.
Elisabeth Elliot
Things happen which would not happen without prayer. Let us not forget that.
Elisabeth Elliot
A whole lot of what we call 'struggling' is simply delayed obedience.
Elisabeth Elliot
Remind me that not everything needs to be said, and that there are very few things that need to be said by me.
Elisabeth Elliot
Think of this- we may live together with Him here and now, a daily walking with Him who loved us and gave Himself for us.
Elisabeth Elliot
Choices will continually be necessary and -- let us not forget -- possible. Obedience to God is always possible. It is a deadly error to fall into the notion that when feelings are extremely strong we can do nothing but act on them.
Elisabeth Elliot
It is God to whom and with whom we travel, and while He is the end of our journey, He is also at every stopping place.
Elisabeth Elliot
If we do anything to further the kingdom of God, we may expect to find what Christ found on that road abuse, indifference, injustice, misunderstanding, trouble of some kind. Take it. Why not? To that you were called.
Elisabeth Elliot
