Charles Hodge Quotes

Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.

Sometimes I really want to believe in God. I really admire, in a lot of ways, people who have faith. I think it must be a beautiful thing to believe.

I have great faith in God. Without faith, I don't know how I would have been able to get through what I've been through.

But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might turn out to be.

Sometimes, I feel like I'm lost. But I've always said that I believe in God.

We operate by faith, which means that we have confidence in what God says, whether we fully understand it or not

Faith that is sure of itself is not faith; faith that is sure of God is the only faith there is.

We are apt to believe in Providence so long as we have our own way; but if things go awry, then we think, if there is a God, he is in heaven, and not on earth.

God seems to have a delightful way of upsetting the things we have calculated on without taking Him into account. We get into circumstances which were not chosen by God, and suddenly we find we have been calculating without God; He has not entered in as a living factor. The one thing that keeps us from the possibility of worrying is bringing God in as the greatest factor in all our calculations.

We are uncertain of the next step, but we are certain of God. Immediately we abandon to God, and do the duty that lies nearest, and He packs our life with surprises all the time.... Leave the whole thing to Him, it is gloriously uncertain how He will come in, but He will come.

God provides for him that trusteth.

I have never had clarity; what I have always had is trust. So I will pray that you will trust God.

My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think that I am following Your Will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please You does in fact please You. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing.

I believe that you always have to believe. It's the only way; after all we both believe that we will do this exhibition. But I can't believe in God, as such, he's either too big or too small for me, and always incomprehensible, unbelievable.

We don’t need self-confidence we need God-confidence

At its root, this is what faith is. It is not believing in God. It's believing God.

Can I believe in that God too?

God doesn't ask you to figure it all out. He only asks you to believe.

In the foothills of the Himalayas, one hears the prayer: "Oh Lord, we know not what is good for us. You know what it is. For it we pray."

It always helps to have a bit of prayer in your back pocket. At the end of the day, you have to have something, and for me, that is God, Jesus, my Catholic upbringing, my faith.

I have a great faith in God and Jesus.

I spend a lot of time in prayer. God doesn't always show up on my time, but he always shows up!

Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you may not understand at the time.

Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.

My faith means everything to me. God and I talk constantly.
