God Quotes

I sometimes wonder if my requests are legitimate. So I'm honest with God. I say, 'Lord, I don't know if I have the right to ask for this. I don't know how I should pray about it. But I hand it over to your now, and if you'll tell me how to pray, I'll pray your way.'
Bill Hybels

We as young men need just one of our peers to stand up and trust his God completely and without reserve. We need just one who will start climbing the rugged mountain cliffs in the direction of his King. We need just one to hear the call of the wild, to charge the fields of Bannockburn and fight for something that really matters. I appeal to you, as a young man, to consider that throughout history, it has often been when one young man stood up to be counted that the course of a nation was forever altered.

He who believes in God is not careful for the morrow, but labors joyfully and with a great heart. "For He giveth His beloved, as in sleep." They must work and watch, yet never be careful or anxious, but commit all to Him, and live in serene tranquility; with a quiet heart, as one who sleeps safely and quietly.
Martin Luther

Aubrey de Grey

You have heaven adorned, earth beautified, the sea populated with its own creatures, the air filled with birds which scour it in every direction. Studious listener, think of all these creations which God has drawn out of nothing; . . . recognize everywhere the wisdom of God; never cease to wonder, and, through every creature, to glorify the Creator.
Saint Basil
-
But, as sculpture and painting are gifts of God, what I insist on is, that both shall be used purely and lawfully, that gifts which the Lord has bestowed upon us, for His glory and our good, shall not be preposterously abused, nay, shall not be perverted to our destruction.
John Calvin

Prayer is the opening of the heart to God as to a friend. Not that it is necessary in order to make known to God what we are, but in order to enable us to receive Him. Prayer does not bring God down to us, but brings us up to Him.
Ellen G. White

Give us, O God, the vision which can see Your love in the world in spite of human failure.Give us the faith to trust Your goodness in spite of our ignorance and weakness.Give us the knowledge that we may continue to pray with understanding hearts.And show us what each one of us can do to set forward the coming of the day of universal peace.
Frank Borman
-
I see not the shadow of a reason to conclude that their the sexes' virtues should differ in respect to their nature. In fact, how can they, if virtue has only one eternal standard?

Mary Wollstonecraft
-
I am a glorious child of God. I am joyful, serene, positive, and loving.
