Elizabeth George Quotes

Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right also for this country. That our leaders, our national leaders are sending them out on a task that is from God. That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God's plan.

The man who prays is the one who thinks that god has arranged matters all wrong, but who also thinks that he can instruct god how to put them right.

I am convinced that wise planning is good. But plans, like material possessions, must always be held loosely. Yes - always! Plan wisely, but be ready for God to rearrange things and take you along paths that may feel dangerous to you. Don't sweat it; He knows what He's doing. And He isn't obligated to inform you ... or request permission to upset your neat little agenda!

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

I do know this: God does answer your prayers, but it's not always in the way you expect. God knows what's best for us, though, so there's no need to worry when things don't go how we originally wanted them to go.

Whenever they sang a certain song in church, I used to sing it the loudest: 'Lead me, guide me, along the way!' One day, as I was singing this song, I felt as if the Lord was saying to me, 'Lead you along what way?' I realized then that if you don't have a plan, God doesn't have anything specific to direct you in.

In the end, it is about whether God wants us to be in the final, but I know that is what God wants. This time we will not need the Hand of God, because it is the will of God.

Whatsoever we beg of God, let us also work for it.

The wonderful thing about God is he knows what we need to persuade us.

I think intuition can be a form of answered prayer. You do the best you can - thinking, figuring, planning - and then you pray.

Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.

God is not a vending machine where if you put in enough prayer quarters we get a Reese's Pieces bag that pops out.

It is always helpful to us to fix our attention on the God-ward aspect of Christian work; to realise that the work of God does not mean so much man's work for God, as God's own work through man.

God answers prayers, but he doesn't always answer it your way.

I seek the spread of freedom and democracy in the way that satisfies God. Americans have planned and paved the ways for a long time, but it is God who is the real planner -- and the proof of this is the fall of the American twin towers ... a miracle from God.

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.

I'm a woman of faith. And I really believe that if I say, 'God, this is what I want,' He says, 'I'll give you your desires, as long as they line up with My will.'

It is through our prayers, through our acts of faith that God works in partnership with us.

If you don't hear His voice so let Him hear yours. When prayers go up blessings descend.

I have a timetable, but no routine.

Don't plan without God. God seems to have a delightful way of upsetting the plans we have made, when we have not taken Him into account.

The most important lesson we can learn is how to pray. Prayers do not die, prayers live before God, and God's heart is set on them.

Praying puts us at risk of getting involved in God's conditions. Be slow to pray. Praying most often doesn't get us what we want but what God wants, something quite at variance with what we conceive to be in our best interests.

God will either give us what we ask, or what He knows to be better for us.

Mahomet made the people believe that he would call a hill to him, and from the top of it offer up his prayers for the observers of his law. The people assembled: Mahomet called the hill to come to him again and again; and when the hill stood still, he was never a whit abashed, but said, 'If the hill will not come to Mahomet, Mahomet will go to the hill.'
