More quotes by Elisabeth Elliot
God has promised to supply all our needs. What we don't have now, we don't need now.
Elisabeth Elliot
I have one desire now - to live a life of reckless abandon for the Lord, putting all my energy and strength into it.
Elisabeth Elliot
When you don't know what to do, do the thing in front of you.
Elisabeth Elliot
Loneliness itself is material for sacrifice. The very longings themselves can be offered to Him who understands perfectly. The transformation into something He can use for the good of others takes place only when the offering is put into his hands.
Elisabeth Elliot
Christ is sufficient. We do not need support groups for each and every separate tribulation. The most widely divergent sorrows may all be taken to the foot of the same old rugged cross and find there cleansing, peace, and joy.
Elisabeth Elliot
The only basis of peace is the cessation of the conflict of two wills: my will vs God’s.
Elisabeth Elliot
This hard place in which you perhaps find yourself is the very place in which God is giving you opportunity to look only to Him, to spend time in prayer, and to learn long-suffering, gentleness, meekness - in short, to learn the depths of the love that Christ Himself has poured out on all of us.
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
He is always doing something--the very best thing, the thing we ourselves would certainly choose if we knew the end from the beginning. He is at work to bring us to our full glory.
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
Things happen which would not happen without prayer. Let us not forget that.
Elisabeth Elliot
I asked Him to give me the prayers He wants me to pray and to give or withhold anything according to his plan for me. Nothing is too big to ask of Him, not even an ocean lot. It is God's business to decide if it is good for me. It is my business to obey Him.
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
A spirit of restlessness and resistance can never wait, but one who believes he is loved with an everlasting love, and knows that underneath are the everlasting arms, will find strength and peace.
Elisabeth Elliot
To love God is to love His will. It is to wait quietly for life to be measured by One who knows us through and through. It is to be content with His timing and His wise appointment.
Elisabeth Elliot
A man will be as much of a gentleman as a woman requires.
Elisabeth Elliot
But the question to precede all others, which finally determines the course of our lives is What do I really want? Was it to love what God commands, in the words of the collect, and to desire what He promises? Did I want what I wanted, or did I want what He wanted, no matter what it might cost?
Elisabeth Elliot
Sometimes we want things we were not meant to have. Because he loves us, the Father says no. Faith trusts that no. Faith is willing not to have what God is not willing to give. Furthermore, faith does not insist upon an explanation. It is enough to know His promises to give what is good-he knows so much more about us than we do.
Elisabeth Elliot
Are you afraid? Remember the fear nots of the Bible.
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.
