Paul Tillich Quotes

Unfortunately, we can never truly know if we're making the right decision. What we do know is that wherever we are, that's where the Light wants us to be. It's the best place for us to be now. And as long as we don't try to control the situation, then we won't end up in the place we shouldn't be.

Don't try to live. Let yourself be lived.

Stop trying, stop struggling; begin to be calm, to trust in the higher laws of life, even though you do not see them; they are still there.

I'd realize it's not worth our time to worry. You do your best, and God will put the right people in your path.

I trust the flow of life.

I say a prayer several times a day about what I can control and what I can't control.

You're always trying to feel confident and to feel good about yourself, but what it comes down to is really giving up to someone else. Having faith.

I just need to be myself and allow things to happen. If it's God's will, good things will happen.

When you accept that you are not in charge of everything, you can begin to work with the one who really is in charge. This has been my experience; when I accepted that I was not in charge and started to work with someone else's plan, the Boss showed up. Now we are a team and I have less to be concerned about. He organizes my schedule. I just follow it, and when He is taking a day off my wife steps in.

Grace is ever present. All that is necessary is that you surrender to it.

We find by losing. We hold fast by letting go. We become something new by ceasing to be something old. This seems to be close to the heart of that mystery. I know no more now than I ever did about the far side of death as the last letting-go of all, but now I know that I do not need to know, and that I do not need to be afraid of not knowing. God knows. That is all that matters.

Surrendering only refers to this moment, whatever "is" at this moment - to accept unconditionally and fully whatever arises at this moment.

Let me not fuss and fret at my incompetence but be still and know that Thou art God.

Somewhere along the way you will have to learn to just Trust Life.

We all get to choose where we set up the stage of our lives - before the Crowds, the Court, the Congregation, the Critics (inner or otherwise)-- or the Cross of Christ. All except One will assess your performance. Only One will accept you before your performance ... Only in Jesus is there 100% acceptance before even 1% performance.

Trust life. If you trust, only then can you drop your knowledge, only then can you put your mind aside.

When we have done our best, we should wait the result in peace.

Let life happen to you. Believe me: life is in the right, always.

I've had a blessed life. I've pulled back from trying to control my destiny and gone back to accepting whatever fate has in store for me. I live for today because I don't know what'll happen tomorrow.

Whatever happens in life is fine - just trust in that.

Grieve not, then, if your sons seem to desert you, but rejoice, rather, seeing the will of God done gladly.

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

Any concern too small to be turned into a prayer is too small to be made into a burden.
