God isn't offended by your biggest dreams or boldest prayers. He is offended by anything less. If your prayers aren't impossible to you, they are insulting to God.

Finally, I learned that we shouldn’t seek answers as much as we should seek God.

If you're bored, one thing is for sure: You're not following in the footsteps of Christ.

Vision beyond your resources? Don't let fear dictate your decisions. If your vision is God-given, it will most definitely be beyond your ability and beyond your resources. The God who gives the vision is the same God who makes provision.

If you've never had a God-sized dream that scared you half to death, then you haven't really come to life. If you've never been overwhelmed by the impossibility of your plans, then your God is too small. If your vision isn't perplexingly impossible, then you need to expand the radiuses of your prayer circles.

Image
We give up too easily. We give up too soon. We quit praying right before the miracle happens.

Image
God is great not just because nothing is too big for Him. God is great because nothing is too small for Him, either.
Mark Batterson
Image
We pray as if God’s chief objective is our personal comfort. It’s not. God’s chief objective is His glory.

Each prayer is like a seed that gets planted in the ground. It disappears for a season, but it eventually bears fruit that blesses future generations. In fact, our prayers bear fruit forever.
