Andrew Greeley Quotes

I do not think anyone can ever do anything without the help and will of God.

I believe God will make a way.

We can never know for certain where our prayers are likely to go, nor from whom the answers will come. Just when we think we are at our nearest to God, we could be assisting the Devil.

God decided when we would be born and when we would be born again. We have the Spirit and the Gospel. To think that we deserve to live in different times is to tell God that we deserve a better mission field than the one He has given us.

I am not promising that God will give you everything you want. There are times when we want things that God knows would not be good for us.

The world is God’s salvation.

Never believe that the so-called random events of life are anything less than God’s appointed order. Be ready to discover His divine designs anywhere and everywhere.

Only in hindsight do we understand how God intended a problem for good.

It is only in misery that we recognize the hand of God leading good men to good.

God's providence is not blind, but full of eyes.

Where the Lord closes a door, somewhere He opens a window.

God doesn’t work on sense; He works on grace. God called you, and God called me. He knew what He was doing.

I don't like hassles. But I love Christmas because it reminds us how "God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God" (Rom. 8:28 NLT).

God is in the business of strategically positioning us in the right place at the right time. A sense of destiny is our birthright as followers of Christ. God is awfully good at getting us where He wants us to go. But here’s the catch: The right place often seems like the wrong place, and the right time often seems like the wrong time.

God's hand never slips. He never makes a mistake. His every move is for our own good and for our ultimate good.

God often takes a course for accomplishing His purposes directly contrary to what our narrow views would prescribe. He brings a death upon our feelings, wishes, and prospects when He is about to give us the desire of our hearts.

When you acknowledge God, He will go before you and make the crooked places straight.

Shoulders are from God and burdens too.

Our Heavenly Father is aware of our needs and will help us as we call upon Him for assistance. I believe that no concern of ours is too small or insignificant. The Lord is in the details of our lives.

God will use your mess for good. We see a perfect mess; God sees a perfect chance to train, test , and teach.

We did not happen to be--we were chosen by God to exist.

If things happen it's because God has prepared me. God has great things for us. If it's God's will that I be there, there I will be.

I too believe that God will always make a way where there is no way. I believe that if we will walk in obedience to the commandments of God, if we will follow the counsel of the priesthood, he will open a way even where there appears to be no way.

Never make the blunder of trying to forecast the way God is going to answer your prayer.
