I haven't had much blogginess in me lately. The things the Lord is working out in me have often left me speechless lately. Literally. However, one of my joys in this season is leading a group of women on Monday nights through a study called "Becoming a Woman of Faith." This study has challenged all of us in profound ways at different points. Today, as I prepare to meet with them again, I came across the following quotes, and just couldn't not share. Hope you're blessed and challenged by them as I have been.
But I will tell you where that faith will be born, and grow big and lusty - in the heart of every one who goes off quietly every day into the quiet place with the Book, and bent knee and the bent will. Into that heart there will come the quiet assurance that what you are asking He is doing. - S.D. Gordon
To venture to pray requires our trust in the goodness of God. ... It is not the amount of my faith that matters, but where my faith is placed - in a God who makes no mistakes, who is always working for the highest and best for His children. ... Sometimes our faith can move mountains; sometimes it can only reach out and touch the hem of His garment; sometimes it simply cries out for mercy - but in all prayers of faith, in some measure, the true healing is that our eyes are opened and we see the Lord. - C. Heald
Questions We Will Be Discussing Tonight:
How is our faith impacted by the time we spend with God?
What needs, situations, or circumstances bring us repeatedly to God?
What does it mean to ask "in Jesus name" or "according to His will"?
Do our prayers for others reflect the heart of God for His people? (Ephesians 3:14-19; Colossians 1:9-12; Ephesians 6:18-20)
How might God's glory be displayed in our weaknesses, trials, or struggles?
