Meister Eckhart Quotes

Let God work in you, give the work to God, and have peace. Don't worry if He works through your nature or above your nature, because both are His, nature and grace.

Don't worry. Just leave everything in the hands of God.

I am no longer anxious about anything, as I realize that He is able to carry out His will for me. It does not matter where He places me, or how. That is for Him to consider, not me, for in the easiest positions He will give me grace, and in the most difficult ones His grace is sufficient.

I place this day, my life, my loved ones, my work in the Lord's hands. There is no harm in the Lord's hands, only good. Whatever happens, whatever results, if I am in the Lord's hands it is the Lord's will and it is good.

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

...the Lord of the Universe carries the entire burden of this world. You imagine you do. You can hand all your burdens over to His care. Whatever you have to do, you will be made an instrument for doing it at the right time. Do not think you cannot do it unless you have the desire to do it. Desire does not give you the strength for doing. The entire strength is the Lord's.

Trust God to take care of you in all circumstances. Do you realize what the enemy will lose if you surrender and trust God?

Faith says not, 'I see that it is good for me, so God must have sent it,' but, 'God sent it, and so it must be good for me.' Faith, walking in the dark with God, only prays Him to clasp its hand more closely.

Let go and let God. Let Him take over your life and run it. He knows how.

Make sure that you let God's grace work in your souls by accepting whatever He gives you, and giving Him whatever He takes from you. True holiness consists in doing God's work with a smile.

You think you're in control, and you're trying to get that square peg in that round hole. You're frustrated, and you realize that you're not in control of everything. You need to just step back and let God.

I did my best, and God did the rest.

I just don't see the point in sitting around hollering the blues over things you have no control over. It's all in God's hands.

When you surrender to God, He makes things happen.

When you're in God's hands, you're always blessed.

There is nothing so small but that we may honor God by asking His guidance of it, or insult Him by taking it into our own hands.
