Today is mine. Tomorrow is none of my business. If I peer anxiously into the fog of the future I will strain my spiritual eyes so that I will not see clearly what is required of me now!

More quotes by Elisabeth Elliot
It is in our acceptance of what is given that God gives Himself.
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
The way you keep your house, the way you organize your time, the care you take in your personal appearance, the things you spend your money on, all speak loudly about what you believe. The beauty of thy peace shines forth in an ordered life. A disordered life speaks loudly of disorder in the soul.
Elisabeth Elliot
I am convinced that the human heart hungers for constancy. In forfeiting the sanctity of sex by casual, nondiscriminato ry making out and sleeping around, we forfeit something we cannot well do without. There is dullness, monotony, sheer boredom in all of life when virginity and purity are no longer protected and prized.
Elisabeth Elliot
Things happen which would not happen without prayer. Let us not forget that.
Elisabeth Elliot
Self-pity is... a sinkhole from which no rescuing hand can drag you because you have chosen to sink.
Elisabeth Elliot
There is no need for faith where there is no consciousness of an element of risk.
Elisabeth Elliot
One way to begin to see how vastly indulgent we usually are is to fast. It is a long day that is not broken by the usual three meals. One finds out what an astonishing amount of time is spent in the planning, purchasing, preparing, eating, and cleaning up of meals.
Elisabeth Elliot
The heart set to do the Father's will, need never fear defeat.
Elisabeth Elliot
When you don't know what to do, do the thing in front of you.
Elisabeth Elliot
Restlessness and impatience change nothing except our peace and joy.
Elisabeth Elliot
In whatever God does in the course of our lives, he gives us, through the experience, some power to help others.
Elisabeth Elliot
The world cries for men who are strong--strong in conviction, strong to lead, to stand, to suffer. I pray that you will be that kind of man--glad that God made you a man, glad to shoulder the burden of manliness in a time when to do so will often bring contempt.
Elisabeth Elliot
A quiet heart is content with what God gives. It is enough. All is grace.
Elisabeth Elliot
By trying to grab fulfillment everywhere, we find it nowhere.
Elisabeth Elliot
The life of faith is lived one day at a time, and it has to be lived - not always looked forward to as though the real living were around the next corner. It is today for which we are responsible. God still owns tomorrow.
Elisabeth Elliot
Does God ask us to do what is beneath us? This question will never trouble us again if we consider the Lord of heaven taking a towel and washing feet.
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
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
For one who has made thanksgiving the habit of his life, the morning prayer will be, 'Lord, what will you give me today to offer back to you?'
Elisabeth Elliot
