As long as you pretend to be self-sufficient, you short-circuit God's power in your life. You need to admit your inadequacy and say, God, I can't handle this!

More quotes by Rick Warren
Three enemies that will weaken your ministry over time: Self-indulgence, bitterness, and carelessness. Strong people discipline their desires, restrain their reactions, and keep their commitments.
Rick Warren
Our goal is to make God look good in the universe.
Rick Warren
God is more interested in your character than your comfort. God is more interested in making your life holy than He is in making your life happy.
Rick Warren
Biblical convictions are essential for spiritual growth and maturity. What is ironic today is that people often have strong convictions about weak issues (football, fashion, etc.) while having weak convictions about major issues (what is right and what is wrong).
Rick Warren
When pressure builds up, don't panic. Pray! Prayer is a tremendous stress reliever. It can be your safety valve.
Rick Warren
Self worth and net worth are not the same.
Rick Warren
I think we live in a pluralistic society where we have to get along with each other and show common grace to each other.
Rick Warren
Because God is love, the most important lesson he wants you to learn on earth is how to love.
Rick Warren
Many people are reluctant to show mercy because they don't understand the difference between trust and forgiveness. Forgiveness is letting go of the past. Trust has to do with future behavior.
Rick Warren
Many people allow their need for other people's approval to control their lives. They spend their lives worrying about what others think of them.
Rick Warren
To make the most of your life you must keep the vision of eternity continually in your mind and the value of it in your heart.
Rick Warren
Many people spend their lives trying to create a lasting legacy on earth. They want to be remembered when they're gone. Yet, what ultimately matters most will not be what others say about your life but what God says.
Rick Warren
The Bible teaches that we are to love people and use money, but we often get that reversed and you start loving money and using people to get more money. Money is simply a tool to be used for good.
Rick Warren
Jesus modeled a purpose-driven life, and he taught others how to live it, too. That was the work that brought glory to God.
Rick Warren
God's purpose is greater than our problems, our pain and even our sin.
Rick Warren
I've always said the shoes must never tell the foot how big to be.
Rick Warren
God is the Father who is full of mercy. God is the Father who is full of comfort. That is the kind of relationship he offers to you.
Rick Warren
Nothing else you do will ever matter as much as helping people establish an eternal relationship with God.
Rick Warren
The purpose of influence is to speak up for those who have no influence. (Pr.31:8) It's not about you.
Rick Warren
When God wants to make a mushroom, he does it overnight, but when He wants to make a giant oak, He takes a hundred years. Great souls are grown through struggles and storms and seasons of suffering. Be patient with the process.
Rick Warren
