Richard G. Scott Quotes

The only thing that matters is submitting to the will of God.

It is the Higher Power which does everything, and the man is only a tool. If he accepts that position, he is free from troubles; otherwise, he courts them.

I am the vessel. The draft is God's. And God is the thirsty one.

To will what God doth will, that is the only science that gives us any rest.

The essence of surrender is getting out of God's way so that He can do in us what He also wants to do through us.

After we have made our requests known to Him, our language should be, "Thy will be done". I would a thousand times rather that Gods' will should be done than my own.

Lord, I am willing To receive what You give. To lack what You withhold. To relinquish what You take, To suffer what You inflict, To be what you require.

O Lord, Thou knowest that which is best for us; let this or that be done, as Thou shalt please. Give what Thou wilt, how much Thou wilt, and when Thou wilt. Deal with me as thou thinkest best. Place me where Thou wilt, and deal with me in all things just as Thou wilt. Behold, I am Thy servant, prepared for all things: I desire not to live unto myself, but unto Thee; and oh, that I could do it worthily and perfectly!

There are no disappointments to those whose wills are buried in the will of God.

Make this simple rule the guide of your life: to have no will but God's.

My prayer for you is that you come to understand and have the courage to answer Jesus' call to you with the simple word 'yes'.

If after all your efforts you cannot succeed, you could not please our Lord more than by sacrificing to Him your will, and remaining in tranquility, humility, and devotion, entirely conformed and submissive to His divine will and good pleasure.

Holiness does not consist in doing extraordinary things. It consists in accepting, with a smile, what Jesus sends us. It consists in accepting and following the will of God.

To allow God to be God we must follow Him for who He is and what He intends, and not for what we want and what we prefer.

Pray till prayer makes you forget your own wish, and leave it or merge it in God's will.

'Doing your own thing' and being a Christian is an oxymoron. As Christians, every day we need to be presenting ourselves before the Lord, thanking Him for His mercy and asking Him to make us more like Him by emptying us of our will, so God's will can be done.

I know that for me I have to get out of the way and let God take control.

When obedience ceases to be an irritant and becomes our quest, in that moment God will endow us with power.

Christ removed self as the force in His perfect life. It was, 'Not my will, but thine be done.'

There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, 'All right, then, have it your way.'

True strength lies in submission which permits one to dedicate his life, through devotion, to something beyond himself.

Oh may He look on us with love and pity and then we shall be able to do anything He wishes us to do, no matter how difficult to accomplish or painful to our feeling.

Do your duty and leave the rest to God.

Humility may well be one of the most difficult of the fruit of the Spirit to be cultivated in us - and to maintain. That's because without humility, it's not likely that you will put your complete trust in God.

I must consider myself as the man of the cross and love the one that God gives me without thinking any further.
