More Quotes From Elyse M. Fitzpatrick

And we neglect the glorious gospel when we fail to recognize his preeminence. How frequently we forget that everything is for him and about him. We forget that he is to be first, in our honor and in our worship. Whenever the gospel slips from our conscious thought, our religion becomes all about our performance, and then we think everything that happens or will ever happen isa bout us. When I forget the incarnation, sinless life, death, resurrection, and ascension, I quickly believe that I'm supposed to be the unrivaled supreme, and matchless one. It's at this point that I'm particularly in need of an intravenous dose of gospel truth. He is preeminent.

God never encourages self-reliance.

I admit that at times my prayer for my children is nothing more than vocalized unbelief aimed at God.
Elyse M. Fitzpatrick
I did my best parenting by prayer. I began to speak less to the kids and more to God. It was actually quite relaxing.
