Give us, O Lord, a steadfast heart, which no unworthy affection may drag downwards; give us an unconquered heart, which no tribulation can wear out; give us an upright heart, which no unworthy purpose may tempt aside. Bestow upon us also, O Lord our God, understanding to know you, diligence to seek you, wisdom to find you, and a faithfulness that may finally embrace you; through Jesus Christ our Lord

Faith: not wanting to know what the truth is.

Even the merest gesture is holy if it is filled with faith.

Confidence… thrives on honesty, on honor, on the sacredness of obligations, on faithful protection, and on unselfish performance. Without them, it cannot live.

We have faith that future generations will know here, in the middle of the twentieth century, there came a time when men of goodwill found a way to unite, and produce, and fight to destroy the forces of ignorance, and intolerance, and slavery, and war.

Our confession of His faithfulness is Heaven’s chosen agency for revealing Christ to the world.

In God’s faithfulness lies eternal security.

The reward of faith is that you shall have everlasting life.

Faith is like radar that sees through the fog — the reality of things at a distance that the human eye cannot see.

If you want to hear God’s voice clearly and you are uncertain, then remain in His presence until He changes this uncertainty. Often much can happen during this waiting for the Lord. Sometimes, He changes pride into humility; doubt into faith and peace; sometimes lust into purity. The Lord can and will do it.

Hold faithfulness and sincerity as first principles.

A little faith will bring your soul to heaven. A great faith will bring heaven to your soul.

It’s the nature of the beast within us to keep going back to the familiar rather than to strap on faith and face the future.

Faith does not change my circumstances; faith changes me. Faith may not bring in the tuition check when I need it, but faith will give me what it takes to hang on.

I do not pray for success, I ask for faithfulness.

The majority of my patients consisted not of believers, but of those who had lost their faith

A faithful servant is more diligent in keeping your goods safe than is your own wife, because she will claim a half part of your worth all her life.

When your vision is powerful enough, everything else falls into place: how you live your life, your workouts, what friends you choose to hang out with, how you eat, what you do for fun. Vision is a purpose, and when your purpose is clear, so are your life choices. Vision creates faith and faith creates willpower. With faith, there is no anxiety, no doubt – just absolute confidence.

My God will never make me and break me. I have faith

No man ever believes with a true and saving faith unless God inclines his heart; and no man when God does incline his heart can refrain from believing.

Faith is a gift of God.

All I need is some loyalty.

Our world is obsessed with success. But how does God define success? Success in God’s eyes is faithfulness to His calling.

And what can be done with a people who are their own masters if they are not submissive to the Deity?

My logisticians are a humorless lot … they know if my campaign fails, they are the first ones I will slay.

For modes of faith let graceless zealots fight, his can’t be wrong whose life is in the right.

Facts are ventriloquist’s dummies. Sitting on a wise man’s knee, they may be made to utter words of wisdom; elsewhere, they say nothing, or talk nonsense

There is no disgrace in honest failure; there is disgrace in fearing to fail

I said to my soul, be still and wait without hope, for hope would be hope for the wrong thing; wait without love, for love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet faith, but the faith and the love are all in the waiting.

The intuitive mind is a sacred gift, and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.

Marital faithfulness involves more than just sexual fidelity. Being faithful to your wife also means defending her and affirming her beauty, intelligence, and integrity at all times, particularly before other people. Faithfulness to your husband means sticking up for him, always building him up and never tearing him down.
