More quotes by Hannah Whitall Smith
We must take our troubles to the Lord, but we must do more than that, we must leave them there.
Hannah Whitall Smith
Thanks be unto God which always causeth us to triumph in Christ!
Hannah Whitall Smith
Foundations to be reliable must always be unshakable.

If the Lord sets you to guard a lonely post in perfect stillness from all active work, you ought to be just as content as to be in the midst of the active warfare. It is no virtue to love the Master's work better than the Master's will.
Hannah Whitall Smith
If we will only surrender ourselves utterly to the Lord, and will trust Him perfectly, we shall find our souls mounting up with wings as eagles to the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, where earthly annoyances or sorrows have no power to disturb us.
Hannah Whitall Smith
It is hard for me to believe that any husband and wife are really happy together. And to have thee say you are is an unspeakable comfort.

Nothing else but seeing God in everything can make us loving and patient with those who annoy us. When we realize that they are only the instruments for accomplishing His purpose in our lives, we will actually be able to thank them [inwardly] for the blessings they bring us.
Hannah Whitall Smith
When all else is gone, God is left, and nothing changes Him.
Hannah Whitall Smith
You must hand yourself and all your inward experiences, your temptations, your temperament, your frames and feelings, all over into the care of your God, and leave them there. He made you and therefore He understands you, and knows how to manage you, and you must trust Him to do it.
Hannah Whitall Smith
Faith, like sight is nothing apart from God. You might as well shut your eyes and look inside, and see whether you have sight as to look inside to discover whether you have faith.
Hannah Whitall Smith
Put together all the tenderest love you know of, multiply it by infinity, and you will begin to see glimpses of the love and grace of God.
Hannah Whitall Smith
If you were to write down all the possible ways to motivate people to do better work, friendly praise would have to come near the head of your list.
Hannah Whitall Smith
Nothing else is needed to quiet all your fears, but just this, that GOD IS.
Hannah Whitall Smith
Somehow even tragedies seem less tragical, when you are the actors in them, than they look to outsiders
Hannah Whitall Smith
God's slavation is not a purchase to be made, nor wages to be earned, nor a summit to be climbed, nor a task to be accomplished but it is simply and only a gift to be accepted, and can only be accepted by faith.
Hannah Whitall Smith
God's care for us is more watchful and more tender than the care of any human father could possibly be.
Hannah Whitall Smith
Those who are God's without reserve are, in every sense, content
Hannah Whitall Smith
I wonder how many of our tombstones will have to be inscribed with the epitaph 'Died of too many meetings'?
Hannah Whitall Smith
Christians, who have given themselves into the care and keeping of the Lord Jesus, still continue to bend beneath the weight of their burden, and often go weary and heavy-laden throughout the whole length of their journey.
Hannah Whitall Smith
Thee may tell Aunt Janet from me that she might as well try to stop the stars in their courses as to try to stop a love affair.
