Max Lucado Quotes

When we pray, we open the door for God to come into our problems and situations and work on them.

Prayer is the answer to every problem there is.

Into thy hands, O Lord. Into thy hands.

Darkness comes. In the middle of it, the future looks blank. The temptation to quit is huge. Don't. You are in good company... You will argue with yourself that there is no way forward.

In my opinion, faith helps in many contexts.

Amid so many problems, even grave, may we not lose our hope in the infinite mercy of God.

There is a place for analysis, but it is apt to be quite fatal in prayer and meditation. Do not dissect the love of God, but feel it. Do not dissect divine intelligence, but realize it. Do not wonder how God can possibly solve this problem, but just watch Him do it in His own way-and He will if you will give Him a chance. You know that God is Love. So go ahead on that, and do not get theoretical about it.

Faith is stepping out into the unknown with nothing to guide us but a hand just beyond our grasp.

Desperation compels us to pray with fervent, focused faith - especially when we have no one else to turn to. God honors our faith when we place it in him alone - with no back-up plan, no other recourse, no other way out. He hears and answers our desperate heart cry, because he loves to show himself strong on our behalf.

It's exactly at these moments, when all hope has vanished, that prayer has dominion.
