Grant not my prayers, when they are contrary to Thy will, which at all times must be the best. Oh, hear them not;

So many of us have believed that we need to labor and perform for God so that we can gain an identity, so that we might be accepted. But in the Kingdom, we start off accepted.

Beni Johnson

We must search the scriptures, accepting them as the mind and will and voice of the Lord and the very power of God unto salvation.

Bruce R. McConkie

God loves all of us.

Lailah Gifty Akita

I am done with the monster of "We," the word of serfdom, of plunder, of misery, falsehood and shame.And now I see the face of god, and I raise this god over the earth, this god whom men have sought since men came into being, this god who will grant them joy and peace and pride.This god, this one word:"I.

Ayn Rand

When you fight with God, your warring against your pride.

Anthony Liccione

Instead of being proud that you led someone to God, be more concerned with the person you pushed away from Him.

Donna Lynn Hope

Your trouble has been what old poets call Daungier. We call it Pride. You are offended by the masculine itself: the loud, irruptive, possessive thing-the gold lion, the bearded bull—which breaks through hedges and scatters the little kingdom of your primness. . . . The male you could have escaped, for it exists only on the biological level. But the masculine none of us can escape. What is above and beyond all things is so masculine that we are all feminine in relation to it.

C.S. Lewis

Let us thank God for valour in abstractionFor those who go their own way, will not kissThe arse of law and order nor compoundFor physical comfort at the price of pride

Louis MacNeice

The real question is why you still believe in that invisible god when a true one stands before you?

Ben Willoughby

Pride adversely affects all our relationships—our relationship with God and His servants, between husband and wife, parent and child, employer and employee, teacher and student, and all mankind. Our degree of pride determines how we treat our God and our brothers and sisters. Christ wants to lift us to where He is. Do we desire to do the same for others?

Ezra Taft Benson

The proud cannot accept the authority of God giving direction to their lives. (See Helaman 12:6.) They pit their perceptions of truth against God’s great knowledge, their abilities versus God’s priesthood power, and their accomplishments against His mighty works.

Ezra Taft Benson

At the point that it dawns on me that I am not God I have finally made room for God.

Craig D. Lounsbrough

Needing attention is a p-p-powerful force in the world, isn't it?""Absolutely. Most people would think of it as a very natural need. Almost a right.""By 'natural' you mean 'm-m-morally neutral'?""Touché.""Without God, people find it very hard to know who they are or why they exist. But if others pay attention to them, praise them, write about them, discuss them, they think they've found the answers to both questions.""If they don't believe in God, you can't blame them.""True, dear. But it still makes for an empty, unhappy person."..."Are you saying, Father Joe, that in the matter of motives, or even morally, there's not ultimately much difference between me and my targets?""I'm afraid not, dear. If the result is that you only have a personality other people shape. If you really exist only in other people's minds.""I think you've just described celebrity.""I've just described pride, dear.

Tony Hendra

To be unable to bear disapproval was an unworthy weakness. But in her case it came nowise of the pride which blame stirs to resentment, but altogether of the self-depreciation which disapproval rouses to yet greater dispiriting. Praise was to her a precious thing, in part because it made her feel as if she could go on; blame, a misery, in part because it made her feel as if all was of no use, she never could do anything right. She had not yet learned that the right is the right, come of praise or blame what may. The right will produce more right and be its own reward--in the end a reward altogether infinite, for God will meet it with what is deeper than all right, namely, perfect love.

George MacDonald

God is the story nature tells to those who are listening.

Steve Maraboli

Truth only has one story, while a lie has a dictionary.

Ryan Trinder-James

Life is a story. Why do we die? Because we live. Why do we live? Because our Maker opened His mouth and began to tell a story.

N.D. Wilson

Sharing our stories is a vital part of doing life together. The disciples shared their stories and changed the world, not because they were extraordinary men, but because they told about an extraordinary God.

Cindee Snider Re

...our stories are who we are, where we begin. They connect us, tearing down walls and shattering isolation. For story is where hope begins.

Cindee Snider Re

We don't practice hospitality to point other people to ourselves, our church, or even our beliefs. We practice hospitality to point people toward the ultimate welcome that God gives every person through Christ.

Holly Sprink

We must work for the good and commit ourselves to postures of global selflessness, even if we can't figure out all the details surrounding the foreign dictators, food shortages, and fair trade. We're called to lean in, to work as hard as we can toward the good, and then trust in God who says, 'The way I work surpasses the way you work, and the way I think is beyond the way you think.' We're called to be witnesses of how God is at play in the world.

Holly Sprink

Global citizenship means simply being willing to focus on the game, to notice the world and the people in it. It does not mean noticing your world, but the world. It means being conscious of the fact that you, and your country, are not the center of God's universe. It is the recognition that the world is made up of people with similar needs, desires, responsibilities, and dreams. It is the willingness to connect to people all over the world, realizing that the choices you make each day affect them and that their decisions affect you. It is noticing that the world is your family.

Holly Sprink

While the opportunity to improve yourself and your situation is a great thing, our striving to build perfect lives seems to have morphed into perfectionism so focused on itself that we forget about others in the world. We work so hard to build the ultimate luxury sedan, to embody society's standard of beauty, and to achieve historical scientific breakthroughs that we conveniently forget our family members in other parts of the world who must walk miles each day in their only set of clothing for the opportunity to go to school.

Holly Sprink

If we allow our American mindset of consumption to spill into our understanding of what a Christian is, we are in danger of living irrespective of world family.

Holly Sprink

When you're one with being you're one with god.

Matthew Donnelly

God does not comfort us to make us comfortable, but to make us comforters.

John Henry Jowett

The Gospel isn’t a life management program. It shouldn’t merely be the crutch we fall on when life gets ugly. It should be the legs we walk on, the air we breathe.

Mary E. DeMuth

God's heart…is not that we escape our lot, but that we learn to thrive in the midst of it.

Mary E. DeMuth

God, who knows me by name, [is] right next to me.

Shirley Corder

When you are discouraged, do not look down. Hold your head up high and you will see the face of God shining a light into your dark place.

Janet Autherine

All over the world there were families deciding to care about each other and encourage one another along the paths God had given them.

Regina Jennings

No matter where you once were, no matter how dark your storm, God doesn't want you to remain there. Overcoming may not be easy, but it's possible when you ask your Father to battle for you.

Dana Arcuri

Linked together as a team with one goal, we soon realized we were only as strong as our weakest link. But did we condemn the weakermember? That wouldn’t serve any purpose. Instead, the stronger guys responded by carrying more weight than the weaker teammate. Encouragement was key in reaching the top of the stadium, standing as one.Sometimes one person on your team may not be as strong as another. Strengths usually differ. Likewise, in an encounter with another, someone may have a different set of beliefs or ideas.To accomplish any goal, embracing the strengths and weaknesses of each member and compensating where necessary are the best ways to make it to the top.

Jake Byrne

When you are down to nothing, God and the universe are always up to something!!! Be strong in your faith, that place within you where love is found. Those powerful forces within you and with out are working it out for you! Be encouraged and know everything will be okay again soon

Angie karan

Your breakthrough is on the way. Don't be discouraged if things are not working out right now. God is working it all out behind the scenes. It may not come when you want, but trust that it will be right on time, because our God is an on time God.

Germany Kent

God has given you two ears--that should tell you something about the importance of listening.

Jim George

Communication is not a one-way street.

Jim George

If you don't know the question, you are not ready for the answer.

Vivian Amis

The communication with God is very important, because the communication is one of our greatest needs, and God is the most important one we need.

Marieta Maglas

Love – Acceptance – Unity – Peace –Integrity – Respect… a strong, pure creed is short on words and long on nourishing ideas. For me, the longer the creed the more it has been diluted, manipulated, and spoiled. The results of this creed poisoning can be seen in the behavior of its followers. We have all heard the expression, “The devil is in the details”; my observations have led me to suspect this is true.

Steve Maraboli

If you are truly a servant of God, then you are to serve him as a master.

Michael Bassey Johnson

Its foolishness to claim that one is faithful towards God, when one is habitual of breaking the trust of those who love and respect him.

Santosh Thankachan

It is pointless to be called by God’s name and not have His respect

Sunday Adelaja

Because God has been reduced in the minds of people, they do not have that boundless confidence in His character that used to be prominent among Christians. Confidence is necessary to respect. You cannot respect a man in whom you have no confidence. Extend that respect upward to God and if you cannot respect God, you cannot worship Him. You cannot have confidence in Him, because where there is no respect there can be no worship.

A.W. Tozer

God never gives you more than you can handle. It's your choice on how you deal with what he gives you. You can either grow from it, or you can lie down and give up.

Kendra Sedgwick

God gave a choice to Adam and Eve to eat the fruit which caused death and pain to all mankind. How is that different than allowing a choice regarding abortion? A person may make the choice to end one life but god allowed a choice that impacts every man, woman and child that has ever been and ever will be. If we strive to follow the image of god how can we outlaw choices and deny the same rights, freedoms and choices that god allowed? We shouldn't determine the choices of others.

C. L. Ferguson

It’s an act of our will to choose to see people simply as wildly loved by God, to assume their beauty before guessing their depravity.

Mary E. DeMuth

Our business is to be free of anything that separates us from God, who has created us to simply be happy and to progress.

Toni Sorenson

In general, it’s not too hard to corrupt an American, mostly a matter of supply to their demand. Supply should be variegated to encourage the Illusion of Choice. Other than that they’re looking for numbness, so be ready to sedate. Drugs, booze, television, shopping, etc…

Geoffrey Wood Grimrack An Infernal Epistolary

When God speaks about equity, that choice of word, makes us understand that God is not referring to the leaders of the land or the elite this time around. He is actually talking about how ordinary citizens of the land relate to each other in fairness and impartiality

Sunday Adelaja

God waits for our permission and doesn’t invade our privacy as we do with others.Everybody has free choice.

Mabel Katz

Christians believe their God gave us all free will - strange that for over 2000 years, they have tried to take that choice away.

Christina Engela

The wise will make holiness and purity their priority.

Bamigboye Olurotimi

Whatever you focus on overwhelms you. Whether that be past or present, friend or foe, love or hate, problem or GOD. Let GOD be your choice of overwhelm.

TemitOpe Ibrahim

Thank God I've wasted my youth already. I don't want to do that again.

Greg Deane

Like most people, my views about ghosts and haunted places were traditional while growing up. I believed ghosts were human spirits. Not that I talked to many people about the subject or my experiences. I assumed people would think I was weird.

Kristine McGuire

God is a supernatural being, and a paranormal experience.

Jenna Alatari

Pathology can indeed evoke experiences of Absolute Godliness, but not all God experiences are caused by pathology. They can also occur due to disturbance in the geomagnetic field of our planet, consumption of psychedelics, excruciatingly extreme level of stress during a near- death situation, or ultimately through a natural and healthy procedure of meditation or/and prayer.

Abhijit Naskar

The most tragic strain in human existence lies in the fact that the pleasure which we find in the things of this life, however good that pleasure may be in itself, is always taken away from us. The things for which men strive hardly ever turn out to be as satisfying as they expected, and in the rare cases in which they do, sooner or later they are snatched away.... For the Christians, all those partial, broken and fleeting perfections which he glimpses in the world around him, which wither in his grasp and he snatches away from him even while the wither, are found again, perfect, complete and lasting in the absolute beauty of God.
