All prayer is responding to God. In all cases God is the initiator - "hearing" always precedes asking. God comes to us first or we would never reach out to him.92 Yet all prayers are not alike or equally effective in relating to God. The clearer our understanding of who God is, the better our prayers. Instinctive prayer is like an emergency flare in reaction to a general sense of God's reality. Prayer as a spiritual gift is a genuine, personal conversation in reply to God's specific, verbal revelation. ~ Timothy J. Keller
Asking God quotes by Timothy J. Keller
The reason so many believers are struggling is that we have voted in the past asking God to bless our plans rather than casting our votes based on seeking His agenda. We want God to sign off on our decisions rather than us following His. ~ Tony Evans
Asking God quotes by Tony Evans
McCoy, drained and hollow-eyed, couldn't take his eyes off the life vest belonging to the boy who'd slipped away from the group during the night. The empty vest spooked McCoy. All its straps were still tightly tied-it looked like some trick that Houdini might've played. Then McCoy peered into the water and got another shock: the boy was floating below him, spread-eagled, about fifteen feet below the surface. He lay motionless until a current caught him; then it was as if he were flying in the depths. Jesus, McCoy thought, Mother of God. He started saying the rosary over and over. McCoy had never been overly religious; his mom was the spiritual one in the family. But now he began the process of what he'd later call his purification; he'd started asking God to forgive him of his sins. He was resolved to live but he was getting ready to die. ~ Doug Stanton
Asking God quotes by Doug Stanton
Anything you say from your heart to God is a prayer. But "why" is rarely a useful question. When Job keeps asking God why he has had such loss and suffering, God says, "You wouldn't understand." I always want to know why, and I almost never have a good answer. ~ Anne Lamott
Asking God quotes by Anne Lamott
A lot of us have been raised with the Bible and with movies from Hollywood to believe that God shouts down from the heavens or appears in a burning bush. It's always so dramatic and kind of scary. So that's what we all expect when we're asking God for some answers. ~ Echo Bodine
Asking God quotes by Echo Bodine
Don't think you're bothering God with your prayers or what you're asking God for is beyond His reach. ~ Jamie Larbi
Asking God quotes by Jamie Larbi
Prayer is asking God to incarnate, to get dirty in your life. Yes, the eternal God scrubs floors. For sure we know he washes feet. So take Jesus at his word. Ask him. Tell him what you want. Get dirty. Write out your prayer requests; don't mindlessly drift through life on the American narcotic of busyness. If you try to seize the day, the day will eventually break you. Seize the corner of his garment and don't let go until he blesses you. He will reshape the day. ~ Paul E. Miller
Asking God quotes by Paul E. Miller
Instead of asking God to remove our problems so that our lives might be happy, we must purposefully try to learn as much as we can - and thereby become happier due to our insights and growth. ~ Karen Salmansohn
Asking God quotes by Karen Salmansohn
When we ask God to transform those who oppose us, we are also asking God to transform us. ~ Dillon Burroughs
Asking God quotes by Dillon Burroughs
Why do we bombard God with our prayers for what we lack to be provided? Perhaps we should be asking God not to supply our wants, but to dwell within them. ~ Margaret Silf
Asking God quotes by Margaret Silf
I'm asking God to bless you with something that unsettles you, disturbs you, and upsets you. ~ Craig Groeschel
Asking God quotes by Craig Groeschel
Prayer is not asking God to do something, it's asking God to help YOU do something ~ Dennis Prager
Asking God quotes by Dennis Prager
We should however not seek to abdicate our duties to God, asking God to come and do what we are supposed to do. ~ Sunday Adelaja
Asking God quotes by Sunday Adelaja
All around you are people who need Christ: your family, your neighbors, people you work with or go to school with every day. Are you praying for them, asking God to open the door of their hearts to His truth? ~ Billy Graham
Asking God quotes by Billy Graham
One who asks the law to rule, therefore, is held to be asking god and intellect alone to rule, while one who asks man adds the beast. Desire is a thing of this sort; and spiritedness perverts rulers and the best men. Hence law is intellect without appetite. ~ Aristotle
Asking God quotes by Aristotle
What you are asking God to do will induce a major impact on your life. That major impact cannot happen with minor faith. He will carry out His divine plan by providing you with opportunities to advance yourself in Him. Jesus said, in Luke, 10:19, "Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you." He will teach you the skills you need to be a force in your industry, but He will not force you into success. You must reach out and walk through those doors, which are open just for you. ~ V.L. Thompson
Asking God quotes by V.L. Thompson
When we pray "Let your kingdom come," we aren't asking God to bring history to an end and whisk us to realms of glory, or to wave a magic wand and solve all the problems we face in our life. Rather, we are making a radical commitment to live our life in the world ("on earth") in such loving abandonment to God that the values and principles, the perspectives and dynamics of God's realm of life and wholeness become incarnate in and through our being and doing. Here too we are utterly incapable of actualizing the kingdom in this way. We can, however, through loving abandonment, allow God to incarnate kingdom life in and through us in the circumstances of our daily life. ~ M. Robert Mulholland Jr.
Asking God quotes by M. Robert Mulholland Jr.
Prayer does not mean asking God for all kinds of things we want, it is rather the desire for God Himself, the only Giver of Life. ~ Sadhu Sundar Singh
Asking God quotes by Sadhu Sundar Singh
Abraham's servant prayed for success: "O LORD, the God of my master Abraham, please grant me success today, and show lovingkindness to my master Abraham" (Gen. 24:12 NASB). This is the first time in Scripture that we read of someone asking God for specific guidance. ~ Gary L. Thomas
Asking God quotes by Gary L. Thomas
Do not exclusively say your prayers in the form of asking God for something. The prayer of thanksgiving is much more powerful. ~ Norman Vincent Peale
Asking God quotes by Norman Vincent Peale
Don't bother asking God for answers about life. Most likely you're asking the wrong questions. ~ Josh Kilmer-Purcell
Asking God quotes by Josh Kilmer-Purcell
There is nothing wrong with asking God to change a situation. But until it happens, you have to trust that where you are is where you should be. ~ Joel Osteen
Asking God quotes by Joel Osteen
I don't believe in asking God for anything. If I am worthy, He will give it to me. I think we should earn his blessings; I have never believed in mannats. ~ Abhishek Bachchan
Asking God quotes by Abhishek Bachchan
The power of asking is the key to abundance living. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Asking God quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Prayer is releasing the energies of God. For prayer is asking God to do what we cannot do ourselves. - Selected ~ Kenneth W. Osbeck
Asking God quotes by Kenneth W. Osbeck
Any supernatural results that arise from biblical practices come from God alone. If a mountain moves, God moved it. He simply invited us to join Him by allowing us to exhale a powerful breath of the Spirit. Having the faith to tell a mountain to move and asking God to move the mountain are not opposing concepts. Like many biblical practices, we don't replace one with the other. We seek to be led by the Holy Spirit and discern when to implement certain practices. God alone must be the one and only initiator in matters of faith. ~ Beth Moore
Asking God quotes by Beth Moore
I remember really vividly kneeling by my bed as a nine-year-old, saying my prayers and asking God to give me boobs that were so big that if I laid on my back I wouldn't be able to see my feet. ~ Katy Perry
Asking God quotes by Katy Perry
Asking God for a specific thing will amount to limiting God to a specific answer. ~ T. B. Joshua
Asking God quotes by T. B. Joshua
One of the Enemy's most effective strategies is to get you to focus on what you don't have, what you used to have, or what someone else has that you wish you had. He does this to keep you from looking around and asking, God, what can You do through what I have? ~ Steven Furtick
Asking God quotes by Steven Furtick
I said the Lord's Prayer hundreds of times, hoping to forgive the killers who were murdering all around me. It was no use-every time I got to the part asking God to "forgive those who trespass against us," my mouth went dry. I couldn't say the words because I didn't truly embrace the feeling behind them. My inability to forgive caused me even greater pain than the anguish I felt in being separated from my family, and it was worse than the physical torment of being constantly hunted. ~ Immaculee Ilibagiza
Asking God quotes by Immaculee Ilibagiza
Everything starts from prayer. Without asking God for love, we cannot possess love and still less are we able to give it to others. Just as people today are speaking so much about the poor but they do not know or talk to the poor, we too cannot talk so much about prayer and yet not know how to pray. ~ Mother Teresa
Asking God quotes by Mother Teresa
Don't waste time asking God to keep you from doing things. Don't do them. ~ Oswald Chambers
Asking God quotes by Oswald Chambers
Once my father told me: When a Jew prays, he is asking God a question that has no end.

Darkness fell. Rain fell.

I never asked: What question?

And now it's too late. Because I lost you, Tateh. One day, in the spring of 1938, on a rainy day that gave way to a break in the clouds, I lost you. You'd gone out to collect specimens for a theory you were hatching about rainfall, instinct, and butterflies. And then you were gone. We found you lying under a tree, your face splashed with mud. We knew you were free then, unbound by disappointing results. And we buried you in the cemetery where your father was buried, and his father, under the shade of the chestnut tree. Three years later, I lost Mameh. The last time I saw her she was wearing her yellow apron. She was stuffing things in a suitcase, the house was a wreck. She told me to go into the woods. She'd packed me food, and told me to wear my coat, even though it was July. "Go," she said. I was too old to listen, but like a child I listened. She told me she'd follow the next day. We chose a spot we both knew in the woods. The giant walnut tree you used to like, Tateh, because you said it had human qualities. I didn't bother to say goodbye. I chose to believe what was easier. I waited. But. She never came.
Since then I've lived with the guilt of understanding too late that she thought she would have been a burden to me. I lost Fitzy. He was studying in Vilna, Tateh - someone who knew someone tol ~ Nicole Krauss
Asking God quotes by Nicole Krauss
Half at least of all morality is negative and consists in keeping out of mischief. The lords prayer is less than 50 words long, and 6 of those words are devoted to asking god not to lead us into temptation. ~ Aldous Huxley
Asking God quotes by Aldous Huxley
To look to Christ to meet our perceived psychological needs is to Christianize our lusts. We are asking God to give us what we want, so we can feel better about ourselves or so we can have more happiness, not holiness, in our lives. ~ Edward T. Welch
Asking God quotes by Edward T. Welch
I pray silently, asking God to make me a little stronger, a little braver. ~ Rae Carson
Asking God quotes by Rae Carson
The process of miraculous change is twofold. One: I see my error or dysfunctional pattern. Two: I ask God to take it from me. The first principle without the second is impotent. As they say in Alcoholics Anonymous, your best thinking got you here. You're the problem but you're not the answer. The second principle isn't enough to change us either. The Holy Spirit can't take from us what we will not release to him. He won't work without our consent. He cannot remove our character defects without our willingness, because that would be violating our free will. We chose those patterns, however mistakenly, and he will not force us to give them up. In asking God to heal us, we're committing to the choice to be healed. ~ Marianne Williamson
Asking God quotes by Marianne Williamson
That month he developed the habit every night of picking up the Bible the last thing before he went to bed and reading a few verses, and from thinking a prayer and from thinking thanksgiving, he advanced to the place where he boldly, in the silence and serenity of the little room, got down on his knees and prayed the prayer of thanksgiving. Then he followed it by the prayer of asking. He found himself asking God to take care of all the world, to help everyone who needed help; to put the spirit and courage into every heart to fare forth and to attempt the Great Adventure on its own behalf... Then he arose, in some way fortified, a trifle bigger, slightly prouder, more capable, more of a man that he had been the day before. He had asked for help and he knew that he was receiving help, and he knew that never again would he be ashamed to face any man, or any body of men, and tell them that he had asked for help and that help had been forthcoming, and that the same experience lay in the reach of every man if he would only take the Lord at His word; if he would only do what all men are so earnestly urged to do--believe. ~ Gene Stratton-Porter
Asking God quotes by Gene Stratton-Porter
Have you been asking God what He is going to do? He will never tell you. God does not tell you what He is going to do; He reveals to you Who He is. ~ Oswald Chambers
Asking God quotes by Oswald Chambers
But prayer isn't asking God to do what we want. Prayer is asking God to what is right. ~ Max Lucado
Asking God quotes by Max Lucado
Just that morning I'd been praying and asking God to show Himself to me. I asked the God of the universe to intersect my life with His revelation, then got up from my prayers and forgot to look. Forgot to seek Him. Forgot to keep my heart in tune with His voice and His invitation. All because of the chaotic rush of my day. ~ Lysa TerKeurst
Asking God quotes by Lysa TerKeurst
I wasn't scared, but I had started making sure the gate was locked at night and asking God what happens when you die. ~ Malala Yousafzai
Asking God quotes by Malala Yousafzai
Stop asking God to bless what you're doing. Find out what God's doing. It's already blessed. ~ Bono
Asking God quotes by Bono
I'm asking God to give you a Popeye moment. A moment when God blesses you with a divine burden: something that bothers you so deeply, you're moved from complacency to action. ~ Craig Groeschel
Asking God quotes by Craig Groeschel
Many people often ask God for a sign, believing that the sign will be smooth sailing, perfect windspeed, moderate temperatures ... so when the winds dance and the waves sing and the temperatures confuse, they think that God's not there anymore. They believe that God is saying, "Watch out! Don't go there!" But the thing is, when something is good, it's not smooth sailing and perfect windspeed and moderate temperatures that are the signs to look out for! When something is good, it has mountain ranges, precipices, cliffs, eagles, tombstones covered in ivy and lily of the valley, mountain goats and a wind so close to the mouth of God that it shakes your flesh to its very core! So when they begin to hop on the precipices and hear the eagles' call - they think God isn't there! They think God is saying "Watch out!" They too often fail to traverse the ivy-encrusted tombstones, to tremble and quiver in beauty under God's breath. Don't run away. ~ C. JoyBell C.
Asking God quotes by C. JoyBell C.
When asking God for direction, ask Him to give you ears to hear it and the will and strength to follow it. Say, God show me what to do and enable me to do it. ~ Stormie O'martian
Asking God quotes by Stormie O'martian
Lordship" petition: It is asking God to extend his royal power over every part of our lives - emotions, desires, thoughts, and commitments. It is reminiscent of Thomas Cranmer's "collect" for the fourteenth Sunday after Trinity, "that we may obtain that which thou dost promise, make us to love that which thou dost command." We are asking God to so fully rule us that we want to obey him with all our hearts and with joy. ~ Timothy Keller
Asking God quotes by Timothy Keller
There is no sinner in the world, however much at enmity with God, who cannot recover God's grace by recourse to Mary, and by asking her assistance. ~ Bridget Of Sweden
Asking God quotes by Bridget Of Sweden
I'm just a simple man standing alone with my old brushes, asking God for inspiration. ~ Peter Paul Rubens
Asking God quotes by Peter Paul Rubens
Sometimes, you have to shot block a friend's prayer because she's asking God to bless an obviously bad dating relationship. ~ Jonathon Acuff
Asking God quotes by Jonathon Acuff
The cure for hatred is straightforward. One should pray for the person toward whom he feels hatred; make specific supplication mentioning this person by name, asking God to give this person good things in this life and the next. When one does this with sincerity, hearts mend.
If one truly wants to purify his or her heart and root out disease, there must be total sincerity and conviction that these cures are effective.. ~ Hamza Yusuf
Asking God quotes by Hamza Yusuf
Roman soldiers girded their waist with something similar to what a weight lifter wears to give him strength and support so he won't hurt the core of his body. It enabled the soldiers to stand stronger against their enemy. We, too, need that kind of support to give us strength in our spiritual core. That means we must tightly surround ourselves with truth and not allow for anything other than the truth to enter into our thinking or situation. It means asking God to keep us undeceived so that we never allow deception to take root. Knowing the truth liberates us from all possibility of deception and illuminates any darkness in our life. ~ Stormie O'martian
Asking God quotes by Stormie O'martian
I am not sure prayer puts us in touch with God the way many people think it does
that we approach God as a supplicant, a beggar asking for favors, or as a customer presenting Him with a shopping list and asking what it will cost. Prayer is not primarily a matter of asking God to change things. If we come to understand what prayer can and should be, and rid ourselves of some unrealistic expectations, we will be better able to call on prayer, and on God, when we need them most. ~ Harold S. Kushner
Asking God quotes by Harold S. Kushner
True prayer is asking God what He wants. ~ William Barclay
Asking God quotes by William Barclay
Fools are unable to comprehend the wisdom of asking God to manifest His desires into their own hearts. Instead, they ignore the tugs of the Holy Spirit on their heartstrings. They follow after their own yearnings, which only provide temporary pleasure, incomplete joy, and eventual damnation. ~ Cheryl Zelenka
Asking God quotes by Cheryl Zelenka
He reminded me of all the questions I asked God years ago when God was too busy to answer.
Try asking God. I think it helps especially if you have problems talking to adults. ~ Juanita Ray
Asking God quotes by Juanita Ray
Prayer is a law of the universe. As God has ordained that certain physical laws should govern the law of this universe, so He has ordained the spiritual law. Books simply will not stay put on the table without the operation of gravity - although God could cause them, by divine fiat, to stay. Certain things simply will not happen without the operation of prayer, although God could cause them, by divine fiat, to happen. The Bible is full o examples of people doing what they could do and asking God to do what they couldn't do. In other words, the pattern given to us is both to work and pray. ~ Elisabeth Elliot
Asking God quotes by Elisabeth Elliot
Maybe that's what praying is all about. Maybe it's not just asking God to forgive us for bad things or asking Him for good things. Maybe it's just the act of praying and feeling that there's someone up there listening that makes us feel better and less helpless. ~ Sarah Darer Littman
Asking God quotes by Sarah Darer Littman
Missy and I haven't spent a lot of time asking God why Mia was born with her difficulties. We have accepted that it's yet another opportunity to glorify Him. A couple of years after Mia was born, one of the nurses at St. Francis Medical Center in Monroe called Missy. The nurse told her that there was a couple at the hospital, and they had just given birth to a baby with a cleft lip and soft palate. The couple was really struggling with the shock, and the nurse told Missy she remembered how we handled it. Missy and I went to the hospital and talked to the parents. Missy told the nurses to call us whenever a similar situation occurred.
A few months later, Missy and Mia were in Dallas for a checkup. The nurse from St. Francis called Missy and told her there was another baby born with the same condition. Since Missy was out of town, she called me.
"Jason, you have to go up there," she said.
"I can't do this," I said.
"The parents are devastated," she said. "You have to go."
"I can't," I said.
After I hung up the phone, I thought about the situation for several minutes. I remembered how Missy and I felt when Mia was born, and I knew the parents at the hospital needed all the support in the world. I called Missy back and told her I was going. When I walked into the hospital room, the parents were there with some family members. Everybody was crying, and it seemed like the normal joy of a child being born was missing. They looked at me like, "Who is thi ~ Jase Robertson
Asking God quotes by Jase Robertson
The point which we consider it our duty to note is, that outside of and beyond his faith, as it were, the Bishop possessed an excess of love. In was in that quarter, quia multum amavit, - because he loved much - that he was regarded as vulnerable by "serious men," "grave persons" and "reasonable people"; favorite locutions of our sad world where egotism takes its word of command from pedantry. What was this excess of love? It was a serene benevolence which overflowed men, as we have already pointed out, and which, on occasion, extended even to things. He lived without disdain. He was indulgent towards God's creation. Every man, even the best, has within him a thoughtless harshness which he reserves for animals. The Bishop of D - - had none of that harshness, which is peculiar to many priests, nevertheless. He did not go as far as the Brahmin, but he seemed to have weighed this saying of Ecclesiastes: "Who knoweth whither the soul of the animal goeth?" Hideousness of aspect, deformity of instinct, troubled him not, and did not arouse his indignation. He was touched, almost softened by them. It seemed as though he went thoughtfully away to seek beyond the bounds of life which is apparent, the cause, the explanation, or the excuse for them. He seemed at times to be asking God to commute these penalties. He examined without wrath, and with the eye of a linguist who is deciphering a palimpsest, that portion of chaos which still exists in nature. This revery sometimes caused him ~ Victor Hugo
Asking God quotes by Victor Hugo
The homily that day was on asking God for
guidance and wisdom when making decisions.
What if she prayed about her questions? Could
she still trust God if his answers were different
from what she wanted? ~ Dawn Klinge
Asking God quotes by Dawn Klinge
When we pray, asking God to sanctify us, are we prepared to measure up to what that really means? ~ Oswald Chambers
Asking God quotes by Oswald Chambers
Jesus is not asking you to sell the gospel; Jesus is asking you to preach the gospel. Mark 16:15 ~ Felix Wantang
Asking God quotes by Felix Wantang
Don't look at prayer as me asking God to give me something, like some type of cosmic bell captain, look at prayer as my communication with the quantum intelligence, the divine intelligence that we have out there and that is how things are manifested. ~ John Assaraf
Asking God quotes by John Assaraf
I've thought about it properly, this whole praying thing, I mean really thought about it, and what I think is that maybe people are doing it wrong; that instead of asking God nicely, people should be demanding and questioning and threatening to stop worshipping. Maybe that way, he would think differently and try to make things right, like he is supposed to; even that verse in the Bible says ask for anything and you shall receive and, I mean, whose words are those? ~ NoViolet Bulawayo
Asking God quotes by NoViolet Bulawayo
True prayer is not asking God for love; it is learning to love, and to include all mankind in one affection. Prayer is the utilization of the love wherewith He loves us. ~ Mary Baker Eddy
Asking God quotes by Mary Baker Eddy
Rather than complaining about inconsequential little irritations, I'm asking God to get right to the root of the problem, to eradicate the dry rot and fix the cracks in my foundation. I need Him to show me how to love Him and how to love His people. Even the ones I don't like - even myself. ~ Craig Groeschel
Asking God quotes by Craig Groeschel
Are we willing to shun vain repetition and keep our prayers out of an unchallenging rut by asking God to make us more sensitive to our own sin? ~ John Pereira
Asking God quotes by John Pereira
Fame turns out to be a powerful instrument of grace because it humbles its chosen victims in a hurry. You sail into it, your canvas swelled with grandiosity, and when your fifteen minutes are over and you are becalmed, you realize that grandiosity cannot take you where you need to go.
Only then do you learn to row like hell, asking God for the strength to stay afloat. ~ Erica Jong
Asking God quotes by Erica Jong
I sat alone in that stupid forest asking God to tell me what to do. ~ Edwina Gateley
Asking God quotes by Edwina Gateley
We welcome you to this moment in your lives and to the place you have come to in each other's hearts. We join with you on this day, as you commit before God and humanity that from this point forward you shall live as one. I remind all of our guests that you have been invited here for a holy purpose, not just to witness, but to participate fully with your thoughts and prayers, asking God to bless this couple and their married life. You are here because this couple feels close to you and asks that you join with them in this dedication of sacred purpose. You represent symbolically all the people in the world who will be touched in any way by the life of this couple. You represent their friends and family, now and forever. They have chosen this act of marriage and this public, holy ceremony in which to proclaim it. Together we all thank God who brought them together and ask Him always to guide their way. ~ Marianne Williamson
Asking God quotes by Marianne Williamson
But the trouble is that what we call "asking God's forgiveness" very often really consists in asking God to accept our excuses. ~ C.S. Lewis
Asking God quotes by C.S. Lewis
Prayer is asking God to do something, future tense; praise is believing that God has already done it, past tense. ~ Mark Batterson
Asking God quotes by Mark Batterson
While I was asking God to change me, he was utilising what he was born with to conquer all things ~ Randi Pink
Asking God quotes by Randi Pink
Sadly, prayer for many of us has been shrunk to an agenda that is little bigger than asking God for stuff. ~ Paul David Tripp
Asking God quotes by Paul David Tripp
Sometimes asking God for a reason for something is like asking Him why the sky is blue. There is a complex, scientific reason for it, Claire, but most children, including you, are content with knowing it is blue because it is. If we understood everything about everything, we would have no need for faith. ~ Susan Meissner
Asking God quotes by Susan Meissner
There is an undeniable correlation between asking God for miracles and receiving them. ~ Linda Evans Shepherd
Asking God quotes by Linda Evans Shepherd
If there's one thing I know for sure, it's that serious doubt - the kind that leads to despair - begins not when we start asking God questions but when, out of fear, we stop. In our darkest hours of confusion and in our most glorious moments of clarity, we remain but curious and dependent little children, tugging frantically at God's outstretched hands and pleading with every question and every prayer and every tantrum we can muster, We want to have a conversation with you! ~ Rachel Held Evans
Asking God quotes by Rachel Held Evans
Instead of wishing things would change, I'm asking God for His strength to make a change. ~ Lysa TerKeurst
Asking God quotes by Lysa TerKeurst
When the Word speaks of the heart, it is referring to the THINKING INSTRUMENT of the SOUL.

Scripture tell us that the heart is the seat of emotions. When Paul prays that the "eyes of the Christian heart" be enlightened, he is asking God to help us grasp the revelation of things revealed to the mind and apply the understanding to our heart. He wants the revelations to move, motivate, and deepen our spiritual insight. With knowledge, we can then use wisdom to apply the understanding to our lives.

"The eyes of your understanding": (ophthalmos) + (kardia), "The eyes of your heart. ~ Cheryl Zelenka
Asking God quotes by Cheryl Zelenka
Another letter complained about the soldiers suffering in Stalingrad, asking God why He let things like this happen to the brave German people. This letter was a classic. The godless barbarians who had forgotten the image of God in the hour of their victories, the murderers who were shooting tens of thousands of Jews and Russian prisons of without blinking an eye, suddenly now remembered that there was a God somewhere after all. Where was God when they were massacring innocent women and children in the forts of Lithuania, piling them on top of the other in huge mass graves? Why didn't they look up to Him at that hour? But at that time they were playing God themselves, with the lives of millions of "subhumans." Oh, how good it felt to hear a German Nazi clamour of God! God! This was our revenge. God was no in Stalingrad. This was the Ninth Fort for the Germans. ~ William W. Mishell
Asking God quotes by William W. Mishell
One of the best aids to freedom is asking God for a lot of help-and asking often. ~ Joyce Meyer
Asking God quotes by Joyce Meyer
I find that when I think I am asking God to forgive me I am often in reality ... asking Him not to forgive me but to excuse me. ~ C.S. Lewis
Asking God quotes by C.S. Lewis
Neva closed her eyes and prayed aloud, asking God to kiss Belle's dreams with all things pleasant and awaken her in the morning with the reminder of His unwavering presence. Then she gave her daughter a hug and a kiss and tiptoed from the room. ~ Kim Vogel Sawyer
Asking God quotes by Kim Vogel Sawyer
Cynicism is when a small mind and a hurt heart rejects the hope, love, and truth of a big and caring God. ~ Jayce O'Neal
Asking God quotes by Jayce O'Neal
God clarifies in the midst of obedience, not beforehand. ~ Erwin McManus
Asking God quotes by Erwin McManus
The greatest modern error is not to proclaim that God died, but to believe that the devil has died. ~ Nicolas Gomez Davila
Asking God quotes by Nicolas Gomez Davila
Wisdom is the spine of a business, money is its oxygen, and God is its strength and life. ~ Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
Asking God quotes by Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
When you know absolutely nothing about the topic, make your forecast by asking a carefully selected probability sample of 300 others who don't know the answer either. ~ Edgar Fiedler
Asking God quotes by Edgar Fiedler
When we live in the love of God, we begin to pay attention to people the way God pays attention to us. ~ John Ortberg
Asking God quotes by John Ortberg
Neither God nor Being nor any other word can define or explain the ineffable reality behind the word, so the only important question is whether the word is a help or a hindrance in enabling you to experience That toward which it points. ~ Eckhart Tolle
Asking God quotes by Eckhart Tolle
Seemed like the flaw in life, that God had given men the freedom to do good or evil. And yet that freedom, a true free will, was at the heart of what he believed about life. Driven by love, God had created people with a free will, had given people the freedom to decide what they wanted to do, so God could know who wanted to freely love Him back. Most people rejected God and the world turned evil. But in the midst of that, God was still good, He still acted in love in every situation. ~ Dee Henderson
Asking God quotes by Dee Henderson
All women love Colin Firth: Mr. Darcy, Mark Darcy, George VI - at this point he could play the Craigslist Killer and people would be like, 'Oh my God, the Craigslist Killer has the most boyish smile! ~ Mindy Kaling
Asking God quotes by Mindy Kaling
I would desire every divine to beware that he tell not the unsanctified, that whoever hath the least degree of love to God for himself, and not as a means to carnal ends, shall certainly be saved ; for he would certainly deceive many thousand miserable souls that should persuade them of this (670). ~ Richard Baxter
Asking God quotes by Richard Baxter
Ah, I often think it's wi' th' old folks as it is wi' the babies; they're satisfied wi' looking, no matter what they're looking at. It's God A'mighty's way o' quietening 'em, I reckon, afore they go to sleep. ~ George Eliot
Asking God quotes by George Eliot
We do not have quid pro quo with God ~ R. Elise Elrod
Asking God quotes by R. Elise Elrod
Whenever a human being ceases to live for themselves and begins to care about that which is greater than themselves, the personality begins to experience ecstasy, joy and spontaneous liberation. And that's found through doing, through action, through giving, through deeply embracing the human experience. ~ Andrew Cohen
Asking God quotes by Andrew Cohen
If the Divine call does not make us better, it will make us very much worse. Of all bad men religious bad men are the worst. Of all created beings the wickedest is one who originally stood in the immediate presence of God. ~ C.S. Lewis
Asking God quotes by C.S. Lewis
My hectic work schedule does not often permit me time to visit temples, but my conversations with God don't depend on idol worship. Inside my heart, I have developed and sustained a direct communication with Him. ~ Emraan Hashmi
Asking God quotes by Emraan Hashmi
Through the heartfelt mercies of our God,
God's Sunrise will break in upon us,
Shining on those in the darkness,
those sitting in the shadow of death,
Then showing us the way, one foot at a time,
down the path of peace. ~ Anonymous
