Francis Chan Quotes

Anyone who truly loves God travels securely.

There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever.

Put your trust in the Lord and go ahead. Worry gets you no place.

Either worrying drives out prayer, or prayer drives out worrying.

Worry is the facade of taking action when prayer really is.

Do not be afraid of what God asks of you! It is worth saying 'yes' to God. In him we find joy.

Learn to commit every situation to God, and trust Him for the outcome. God's love for you never changes, no matter what problems you face or how unsettled life becomes.

Walk by faith! Stop the plague of worry. Relax! Learn to say, "Lord, this is Your battle."

Worry and anxiety are sand in the machinery of life; faith is the oil.

The Lord stands above the new day, for God has made it. All restlessness, all worry, and anxiety flee before him.

Worry is the warning light that shows I’ve stopped looking to God to meet my needs.

Prayer assumes the sovereignty of God. If God is not sovereign, we have no assurance that He is able to answer our prayers. Our prayers would become nothing more than wishes. But while God's sovereignty, along with his wisdom and love, is the foundation of our trust in Him, prayer is the expression of that trust.

We always get into trouble when we doubt God's love, because when we don't trust him, we don't obey him.

Your life may have taken a detour, but God is still on the throne. He has brought you this far, and sooner or later, your peace will be restored.

If you have an anxiety lay it down before The Lord

The will of God is always a bigger thing than we bargain for, but we must believe that whatever it involves, it is good, acceptable and perfect.

No matter what I go through today, I need not fear. For God is all-powerful and God is here. I am never separate from the One who created me. There is nothing I can do to make Him turn his face away from me. I am loved, I am cared for, and I am totally safe in the arms of God.

Worrying is trying to figure out what to do to save yourself rather than trusting in God for deliverance.

Seek first the kingdom of wealth and you'll worry over every dollar. Seek first the kingdom of health and you'll sweat every blemish and bump. Seek first the kingdom of popularity, and you'll relive every conflict. Seek first the kingdom of safety, and you'll jump at every crack of the twig. But seek first His kingdom and you will find it. On that, we can depend and never worry.

We live in terribly complex times. We are confronted by very serious problems. Some of us are faced with sickness, with economic difficulties, with worry and concern over many matters. Our refuge, our peace, our well-being lie in walking in the way of the Lord.

God is in control and knowing that at the end of the day what happens - whether I'm comfortable with it or not or afraid of it or not - that God is in control.

Unerring wisdom ordained your lot, and selected for you the safest and best condition. Remember this, had any other condition been better for you than the one in which you are, divine love would have put you there. You are placed by God in the most suitable circumstances. Be content with such things as you have, since the Lord has ordered all things for your good.

We must never get into the habit of being preoccupied with the future. There is no reason to do so. God is there.

I don't have control over everything; God has control over everything and I trust him, so I don't worry.

No one can pray and worry at the same time. When we worry, we aren't praying. When we pray, we aren't worrying.
