The only way you can fail is if you stop praying.
Mark Batterson

Don’t just read the Bible. Start circling the promises. Don’t just make a wish. Write down a list of God-glorifying life goals. Don’t just pray. Keep a prayer journal. Define your dream. Claim your promise. Spell your miracle.

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.

Image
The healthiest and holiest people are the people who laugh at themselves the most. Failure helps us take God more seriously and ourselves less seriously.

Image
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.

Image
Your greatest regret at the end of your life will be the lions you didn't chase. You will look back longingly on risks not taken, opportunities not seized, and dreams not pursued. Stop running away from what scares you most and start chasing the God-ordained opportunities that cross your path.

We pray as if God’s chief objective is our personal comfort. It’s not. God’s chief objective is His glory.

If you're bored, one thing is for sure: You're not following in the footsteps of Christ.
Mark Batterson
Image
You cannot be in the presence of God and be bored at the same time. For that matter, you cannot be in the will of God and be bored at the same time.
Mark Batterson
Image
Have you ever noticed that when you pray, coincidences happen? And when you don't, they don't.
Mark Batterson
Image
Prayer adds an element of surprise to your life that is more fun than a surprise party or surprise gift or surprise romance. In fact, prayer turns life into a party, into a gift, into a romance.

Image
If we repent, God always recycles our mistakes.
Mark Batterson
Image
Worship is forgetting about what's wrong with you and remembering what's right with God.

Image
One of the truest tests of spiritual maturity is seeing the miraculous in the monotonous.
Mark Batterson
Image
You are only one defining decision away from a totally different life!
Mark Batterson
Image
God wants you to get where God wants you to go more than you want to get where God wants you to go.

Image
I’ve discovered that if I don’t take the first step, God generally won’t reveal the next step.

One of our fundamental spiritual problems is this: we want God to do something new while we keep doing the same old thing.
