More quotes by Mark Batterson
We pray as if God’s chief objective is our personal comfort. It’s not. God’s chief objective is His glory.
Mark Batterson
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.
Mark Batterson
Most Christians are educated way beyond the level of their obedience already! We don’t need to know more, we need to do more.
Mark Batterson
Who you become is determined by how you pray
Mark Batterson
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.
Mark Batterson
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.
Mark Batterson
We give up too easily. We give up too soon. We quit praying right before the miracle happens.
Mark Batterson
I think you often say more by saying less. And interestingly enough, I mean, Jesus really set the standard. I mean, he could say more with fewer words than anybody. Most of the parables were less than 250 words. And, boy, did he have some one-liners just packed with truth.
Mark Batterson
Well-developed faith results in well-defined prayers, and well-defined prayers result in a well-lived life.
Mark Batterson
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.
Mark Batterson
Email helps me keep in touch with my family. I wouldn't know what my extended family was doing every day if we weren't emailing each other.
Mark Batterson
If you want God to do something new in you, you cannot keep doing the same old thing. You have to do something different. And if you do, God will create new capacities within you. There will be new gifts and new revelations. But you've got to pray the price. You'll get out of this what you put into it.
Mark Batterson
Whether we write lyrics or craft legislation, sell homes or teach classes, design spaces or open franchises, prayer is a critical part of the creative process. Don’t just brainstorm praystorm.
Mark Batterson
If you seek answers you won't find them, but if you seek God, the answers will find you.
Mark Batterson
The day we stop dreaming is the day we start dying.
Mark Batterson
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.
Mark Batterson
If you aren't hungry for God, you are full of yourself.
Mark Batterson
You'll never be a perfect parent, but you can be a praying parent.
Mark Batterson
You'll never be a perfect parent, but you can be a praying parent. Prayer is your highest privilege as a parent. ...Prayer turns ordinary parents into prophets who shape the destinies of their children, grandchildren, and every generation that follows. ...Your prayers for your children are the greatest legacy you can leave.
Mark Batterson
The more you’re willing to risk, the more God can use you. And if you’re willing to risk everything, then there is nothing God can’t do in you and through you.
