Charles R. Swindoll quotes about
prayer cities giving
To be used of God. Is there anything more encouraging, more fulfilling? Perhaps not, but there is something more basic: to meet with God. To linger in His presence, to shut out the noise of the city and, in quietness, give Him the praise He deserves. Before we engage ourselves in His work, let's meet Him in His Word... in prayer... in worship.
christian prayer wind
Prayer is an investment. The time you dedicate to prayer isn't lost; it will return dividends far greater than what a few moments spent on a task ever could. If we fail to cultivate this discipline, prayer winds up being our last resort rather than our first response.
prayer comforting relief
Noise and crowds have a way of siphoning our energy and distracting our attention, making prayer an added chore rather than a comforting relief
prayer thrones lord
If you are having difficulty loving or relating to an individual, take him to God. Bother the Lord with this person. Don't you be bothered with him - leave him at the throne.
christian prayer anxiety
Our minds can be kept free of anxiety as we dump the load of our cares on the Lord in prayer.
winning jewels anchors
Consistency: It's the jewel worth wearing; It's the anchor worth weighing; It's the thread worth weaving; It's a battle worth winning.
worry forget-you forgotten
Another problem with worry is that it makes you forget your worth. Worry makes you feel worthless, forgotten, and unimportant.
pain focus valleys
We shouldn't deny the pain of what happens in our lives. We should just refuse to focus only on the valleys.
faith integrity waiting
All he asks is that we trust Him, that we stand before Him in integrity and faith. God is just waiting for us to trust Him.
inspirational motivational inspiring
The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is ten percent what happens to me and ninety percent of how I react to it. And so it is with you. we are in charge of our attitudes.
winning demand deeds
God never asked us to meet life's pressures and demands on our own terms or by relying upon our own strength. Nor did He demands that we win His favor by assembling an impressive portfolio of good deeds. Instead, He invites us to enter His rest.
believe grace one-thing
Believing in grace is one thing. Living it is another.
god encouragement giving
God does not dispense strength and encouragement like a druggist fills your prescription. The Lord doesn't promise to give us something to take so we can handle our weary moments. He promises us Himself. That is all. And that is enough.
jesus might action
Jesus' plan called for action, and how He expressed it predicted its success. He didn't say "you 'might' be my witnesses," or "you 'could' be my witnesses," or even "you 'should' be my witnesses." He said "you 'WILL' be my witnesses.
