The issue is fear. But the deeper issue is trust. Can we trust our lives, our futures, and the lives of those we love to God? Can we trust a God we can't control? Can we trust this God whose take on life and death and suffering and joy is so very different from our own? Yes. Yes, we can. Because we know him. And we know he is good. ~ Stasi Eldredge
Knowing God quotes by Stasi Eldredge
Knowing God is a matter of grace. It is a relationship in which the initiative throughout is with God - as it must be, since God is so completely above us and we have so completely forfeited all claim on his favor by our sins. ~ J.I. Packer
Knowing God quotes by J.I. Packer
Knowledge and personality make doubt possible, but knowledge is also the cure of doubt; and when we get a full and adequate sense of personality we are lifted into a region where doubt is almost impossible, for no man can know himself as he is, and all fullness of his nature, without also knowing God. ~ Thornton T. Munger
Knowing God quotes by Thornton T. Munger
Waiting is an expectant patience. It's a patience that says, "I don't know what God is going to do, but I know God is going to do something." ~ Max Lucado
Knowing God quotes by Max Lucado
In a very real sense my science does inform my knowledge of God. If you would allow me to say that we never know God, because if I claim that I know God, I know something other than God, because God is not knowable, he is unknowable. So we have to approach it in that sense first, that my knowledge of God is always limited. ~ George Coyne
Knowing God quotes by George Coyne
In the end, we know God as unknown. ~ Thomas Aquinas
Knowing God quotes by Thomas Aquinas
Seek to know God in your closets, call upon him in the fields. Follow the directions of the Book of Mormon, and pray over, and for your families, your cattle, your flocks, your herds, your corn, and all things that you possess [see Alma 34:18-27]; ask the blessing of God upon all your labors, and everything that you engage in. ~ Joseph Smith Jr.
Knowing God quotes by Joseph Smith Jr.
Prayer is an act of faith. Just by praying to God, you are declaring our trust in someone other than yourself. Your faith is increased as you pray and watch how God answers your prayers. God says in Jeremiah 33:3, Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know. God is awesome in power and there is never a time when He is not beside you. He is faithful and holy. ~ Charles Stanley
Knowing God quotes by Charles Stanley
The Lord does not show Himself to a proud soul. The proud soul, no matter how many books it reads, will never know God, since by its pride it does not give place for the grace of the Holy Spirit, while God is known only by the humble soul. ~ Silouan The Athonite
Knowing God quotes by Silouan The Athonite
Our perfection certainly consists in knowing God and ourselves. ~ Angela Of Foligno
Knowing God quotes by Angela Of Foligno
It is terrible when people do not know God, but it is worse when people identify as God what is not God. ~ Leo Tolstoy
Knowing God quotes by Leo Tolstoy
Study the Bible to know about God. Obey the Bible to really know God. ~ Adrian Rogers
Knowing God quotes by Adrian Rogers
You were placed on earth to know God. Everything else is secondary. ~ Greg Laurie
Knowing God quotes by Greg Laurie
But ever since he had been a child, he wanted to know the world, and this was much more important to him than knowing God and learning about man's sins. ~ Paulo Coelho
Knowing God quotes by Paulo Coelho
Are you willing to go the extra mile in this new year to know God? ~ Mark Hart
Knowing God quotes by Mark Hart
We are all part of the One Spirit. When you experience the true meaning of religion, which is to know God, you will realize that He is your Self, and that He exists equally and impartially in all beings. ~ Paramahansa Yogananda
Knowing God quotes by Paramahansa Yogananda
And there is something profoundly humbling about knowing God. I'm not talking about the trinket God or the genie-in-a-lamp God. I mean the God who invented the tree in my front yard, the beauty of my sweetheart, the taste of a blueberry, the violence of a river at flood. There are a lot of religious trends that would have us controlling God, telling us that if we do this that and the other, God will jump through our hoops like a monkey. But this other God, this real God, is awesome and strong, all-encompassing and passionate, and for reasons I will never understand, he wants to father us. ~ Donald Miller
Knowing God quotes by Donald Miller
Silence will illuminate you in God ... and deliver you from phantoms of ignorance. Silence will unite you to God ... In the beginning we have to force ourselves to be silent. But then from our very silence is born something that draws us into deeper silence. May God give you an experience of this 'something' that is born of silence ~ Isaac Of Nenevah
Knowing God quotes by Isaac Of Nenevah
The pagans do not know God, and love only the earth. The Jews know the true God, and love only the earth. The Christians know the true God, and do not love the earth. ~ Blaise Pascal
Knowing God quotes by Blaise Pascal
Knowing God is your single greatest privilege as a Christian. ~ Sinclair B. Ferguson
Knowing God quotes by Sinclair B. Ferguson
We need to be skilled into knowing God and His Word, then act as excellent translators of these things to the people in our churches. ~ Vicky Beeching
Knowing God quotes by Vicky Beeching
Devote yourself to getting to know Him better, then you will grow in that righteousness which is in you, in peace, in joy and God will look after other people and solve their problems for them. ~ Sunday Adelaja
Knowing God quotes by Sunday Adelaja
When people say, "I know God forgives me, but I can't forgive myself," they mean that they have failed an idol, whose approval is more important than God's. ~ Timothy Keller
Knowing God quotes by Timothy Keller
Whoever does not know God hidden in suffering does not know God at all. ~ Martin Luther
Knowing God quotes by Martin Luther
The highest science, the loftiest speculation, the mightiest philosophy, which can ever engage the attention of a child of God, is the name, the nature, the person, the work, the doings, and the existence of the great God whom he calls his Father. ~ Charles Spurgeon
Knowing God quotes by Charles Spurgeon
Knowing God supersedes everything else because it is the supreme cause. Everything else - being, doing, loving, believing, hoping, praising, worshipping, evangelizing, glorifying, enjoying - is an effect. ~ Larry Alan Thompson
Knowing God quotes by Larry Alan Thompson
Knowing God without knowing our wretchedness leads to pride. Knowing our wretchedness without knowing God leads to despair. Knowing Jesus Christ is the middle course, because in him we find both God and our wretchedness. ~ Blaise Pascal
Knowing God quotes by Blaise Pascal
We dont know Gods plan, but we do know were pretty blessed and God expects us to do something with that. ~ Catherine Hicks
Knowing God quotes by Catherine Hicks
When you come to knowing God, the initiative lies on His side. If He does not show Himself, nothing you can do will enable you to find Him. And, in fact, He shows much more of Himself to some people than to others - not because He has favourites, but because it is impossible for Him to show Himself to a man whose whole mind and character are in the wrong condition. Just as sunlight, though it has no favourites, cannot be reflected in a dusty mirror as clearly as in a clean one. ~ C.S. Lewis
Knowing God quotes by C.S. Lewis
There is no knowing that does not begin with knowing God. ~ John Calvin
Knowing God quotes by John Calvin
We cannot really know God if we do not pray. ~ Mother Teresa
Knowing God quotes by Mother Teresa
But to enjoy him we must know him. Seeing is savoring. If he remains a blurry, vague fog, we may be intrigued for a season. But we will not be stunned with joy, as when the fog clears and you find yourself on the brink of some vast precipice. ~ John Piper
Knowing God quotes by John Piper
I do not get to know God and then do His will. I get to know Him by doing His will. ~ Philip Yancey
Knowing God quotes by Philip Yancey
You never know God is all you need until God is all you have. ~ Rick Warren
Knowing God quotes by Rick Warren
The life-converting experience is not the discovery that I have choices to make that determine the way I live out my existence, but the awareness that my that my existence itself is not in the center. Once I 'know' God, that is, once I experience God's love as the love in which all my human experiences are anchored, I can desire only one thing: to be in that love. ~ Henri Nouwen
Knowing God quotes by Henri Nouwen
Our problems may stay, our circumstances may remain, but we know God is in control. We are focused on His adequacy, not our inadequacy. ~ Charles Stanley
Knowing God quotes by Charles Stanley
To know God is to be transformed, and thus to be introduced to a life that could not otherwise be experienced. ~ D. A. Carson
Knowing God quotes by D. A. Carson
A God whom we could understand exhaustively, and whose revelation of Himself confronted us with no mysteries whatsoever, would be a God in man's image, and therefore an imaginary God, not the God of the Bible at all. ~ J.I. Packer
Knowing God quotes by J.I. Packer
Can an atheist practice yoga? Can an agnostic sit in meditation? Absolutely! Belief in God is not a requirement for practice. The only requirement for practice is the willingness to accept that you are not God. To surrender to
the possibility that while an all-knowing God may not govern the universe, neither do you. ~ Darren Main
Knowing God quotes by Darren Main
Anyone, without exception, can know God if they really want to simply by praying, by honestly telling Him that they want to know Him. He always responds to honest seekers. Jesus promised, 'All who seek, find.' ~ Peter Kreeft
Knowing God quotes by Peter Kreeft
Meditation is the activity of calling to mind, and thinking over, and dwelling on, and applying to oneself, the various things that one knows about the works and ways and purposes and promises of God. It is an activity of holy thought, consciously performed in the presence of God, under the eye of God, by the help of God, as a means of communion with God. ~ J.I. Packer
Knowing God quotes by J.I. Packer
We have to be careful not to look for confidence in the acceptance of others because true confidence only comes from knowing God. ~ Victoria Osteen
Knowing God quotes by Victoria Osteen
If we are to know God, we must read His words, for therein He stands revealed to the honest in heart. ~ J. Richard Clarke
Knowing God quotes by J. Richard Clarke
My stress resulted from not knowing God, not trusting him with my whole heart, seeking peace and purpose from the world instead of from him, and from being so afraid of change that I would rather suffer than obey. ~ Tracie Miles
Knowing God quotes by Tracie Miles
The problem of knowing man is parallel to the religious problem of knowing God. In conventional Western theology the attempt is made to know God by thought, to make statements about God. It is assumed that I can know God in my thought. In mysticism, which is the consequent outcome of monotheism, the attempt is given up to know God by thought, and it is replaced by the experience of union with God in which there is no more room - and no need - for knowledge about God. ~ Erich Fromm
Knowing God quotes by Erich Fromm
Before we begin dating, we have to develop a vision for what makes marriage worth having. Why do we even want to be married in the first place?...Marriage is worth having because you get God in your lifelong commitment to one another. Marriage is about knowing God, worshiping God, depending on God, displaying God, and being made like God....What makes marriage worth having is that you, your spouse, and those around you see more of God and his love in Jesus. ~ Marshall Segal
Knowing God quotes by Marshall Segal
Talk about God can become dreary and lackluster if God isn't in you. Church can become a drab thing and the Bible an irksome Book if the Holy Spirit does not illuminate your soul with His indwelling presence. ~ Billy Graham
Knowing God quotes by Billy Graham
The man who knows God but does not know his own misery, becomes proud. The man who knows his own misery but does not know God, ends in despair ... the knowledge of Jesus Christ constitutes the middle course because in him we find both God and our own misery. Jesus Christ is therefore a God whom we approach without pride, and before whom we humble ourselves without despair. ~ Blaise Pascal
Knowing God quotes by Blaise Pascal
For me the only certain means of knowing God is nonviolence, ahimsa, love. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Knowing God quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Sometimes it's about knowing people, all of the time, it's about knowing God! ~ Chinonye J. Chidolue
Knowing God quotes by Chinonye J. Chidolue
C. S. Lewis pointed out that some people are angry with God for His not existing, and others for His existing but for failing to do as mortals would have Him do. Instead of such childishness, we are urged to know God and to learn of His attributes. ~ Neal A. Maxwell
Knowing God quotes by Neal A. Maxwell
The witness is frequent and insistent that God is inherently relational and personal. So God cannot be either received or understood apart from our being personal and realtional as well. That most emphatically excludes the detached intellect as a way of knowing God. It excludes programmatic work as a way of knowing God. It excludes cultivation of the ecstatic and visionary as a way of knowing God. God is not an abstract idea that can be mastered, not an impersonal force that can be used, not a private experience that can be indulged." Eugene Peterson, "Living the Resurrection" (106). ~ Eugene H. Peterson
Knowing God quotes by Eugene H. Peterson
Abraham Lincoln suggested never presume to know what God's will is, and I would never presume to know God's will or to speak God's words. ~ Sarah Palin
Knowing God quotes by Sarah Palin
Salvation is a word for the divine spaciousness that comes to human beings in all the tight places where their lives are at risk, regardless of how they got there or whether they know God's name. Sometimes it comes as an extended human hand and sometimes as a bolt from the blue, but either way it opens a door in what looked for all the world like a wall. This is the way of life, and God alone knows how it works. ~ Barbara Brown Taylor
Knowing God quotes by Barbara Brown Taylor
The essential feature, and necessity of life is to know reality, which means knowing God. ~ Malcolm Muggeridge
Knowing God quotes by Malcolm Muggeridge
God knows your abilities, and he also knows how to turn your weak points into strong ones ~ Sunday Adelaja
Knowing God quotes by Sunday Adelaja
We look upon prayer simply as a means of getting things for ourselves, but the biblical purpose of prayer is that we may get to know God Himself. ~ Oswald Chambers
Knowing God quotes by Oswald Chambers
What matters supremely, therefore, is not, in the last analysis, the fact that I know God, but the larger fact which underlies it - the fact that He knows me. ~ J.I. Packer
Knowing God quotes by J.I. Packer
Is refusing to give up, believing in dreams not yet seen, and knowing God gives us both. Hope ~ Lorilyn Roberts
Knowing God quotes by Lorilyn Roberts
We live in a broken world full of broken people. But isn't it comforting to know God isn't ever broken? He isn't ever caught off guard, taken by surprise, or shocked by what happens next. ~ Lysa TerKeurst
Knowing God quotes by Lysa TerKeurst
It is one step, and a giant one, to see clearly and participate in the love that flows between the persons of the Trinity, but even here, God is seen as the object of his own love. It is yet another step to realize that God is beyond all subject and object and is Himself love without subject or object. This is the step beyond our highest experiences of love and union, a step in which self is not around to divide, separate, objectify or claim anything for itself. Self does not know God; it cannot love him, and from the beginning has never done so. ~ Bernadette Roberts
Knowing God quotes by Bernadette Roberts
Oh, the fullness, pleasure, sheer excitement of knowing God on earth! ~ Jim Elliot
Knowing God quotes by Jim Elliot
I really believe that what we finally want is to know God, as God has come to be known through Jesus. Knowledge is knowledge of the heart - the Spirit - I would say. It is the Spirit in us who reveals God. ~ Henri Nouwen
Knowing God quotes by Henri Nouwen
God illumines the mind and shines within it. One cannot know God by means of the mind. One can but turn the mind inwards and merge it in God. ~ Ramana Maharshi
Knowing God quotes by Ramana Maharshi
What is yoga ? In simple words, it is taking your attention to the Spirit. This is yoga. What does the kundalini do ? She raises your attention and takes it to the Spirit. Only after knowing the Spirit you can know God. ~ Nirmala Srivastava
Knowing God quotes by Nirmala Srivastava
I walked out to the hill just now. It is exalting, delicious. To stand embraced by the shadows of a friendly tree with the wind tugging at your coattail and the heavens hailing your heart, to gaze and glory and to give oneself again to God, what more could a man ask? Oh, the fullness, pleasure, sheer excitement of knowing God on earth. I care not if I never raise my voice again for Him, if only I may love Him, please Him. Mayhap, in mercy, He shall give me a host of children that I may lead through the vast star fields to explore His delicacies whose fingers' ends set them to burning. But if not, if only I may see Him, smell His garments, and smile into my Lover's eyes, ah, then, not stars, nor children, shall matter--only Himself. ~ Jim Elliot
Knowing God quotes by Jim Elliot
We cannot know God apart from His Word ... ~ Joyce Meyer
Knowing God quotes by Joyce Meyer
It's a sweet thing, faith. With it, you can handle any circumstance, any crisis, because you know God always has your back. And when God is for you, who can be against you? Nobody. As my Aunt Hattie says, "One and God are a majority." ~ Patti LaBelle
Knowing God quotes by Patti LaBelle
In God you come up against something which is in every respect immeasurably superior to yourself. Unless you know God as that-and, therefore, know yourself as nothing in comparison-you do not know God at all. ~ C.S. Lewis
Knowing God quotes by C.S. Lewis
To know God and to live is the same thing. God is Life. ~ Leo Tolstoy
Knowing God quotes by Leo Tolstoy
The man who would truly know God must give time to Him. ~ A.W. Tozer
Knowing God quotes by A.W. Tozer
I'd rather be in this wheelchair knowing God than on my feet without him. ~ Joni Eareckson Tada
Knowing God quotes by Joni Eareckson Tada
I know God is in charge. Not me, I'm nothing. I wouldn't be anything except for the power of the spirit of God. ~ Billy Graham
Knowing God quotes by Billy Graham
To be pure, to remain pure, can only come at a price, the price of knowing God and loving him enough to do his will. He will always give us the strength we need to keep purity as something as beautiful for him. ~ Mother Teresa
Knowing God quotes by Mother Teresa
A beautiful heart wants to know God and gets to know him through his Word. ~ Lauren Scruggs
Knowing God quotes by Lauren Scruggs
The wildest part is that Jesus doesn't have to love us. His being is utterly complete and perfect, apart from humanity. He doesn't need me or you. Yet He wants us, chooses us, even considers us His inheritance (Eph. 1:18). The greatest knowledge we can ever have is knowing God treasures us. ~ Francis Chan
Knowing God quotes by Francis Chan
Understanding human nature is the highest knowledge, and only by knowing it can we know God. It is also a fact that the knowledge of God is the highest knowledge, and only by knowing God can we understand human nature. ~ Swami Vivekananda
Knowing God quotes by Swami Vivekananda
God seems to far away.
Does He? Have you noted the splendid display of wildflowers? Have you listened to a child's laughter or watched a sunrise or a sunset? Have you seen peace on a person's face when they should be miserable?
I want that for you. I want you to be able to face very moment of the day knowing God loves you. ~ DiAnn Mills
Knowing God quotes by DiAnn Mills
One seeks to know the self better in order to know God better. ~ Edwin Gaustad
Knowing God quotes by Edwin Gaustad
To know God is to be adjusted to daily living. ~ Alfred Armand Montapert
Knowing God quotes by Alfred Armand Montapert
The knowledge of self is the most important thing, because how are you going to know God if you don't know yourself? How are you going to know anything if you don't know yourself? ~ RZA
Knowing God quotes by RZA
Five obstacles block our access to the benefits God wants for us: Unbelief, which hinders knowing God Pride, which prevents us from glorifying God Idolatry, which keeps us from being satisfied with God Prayerlessness, which blocks our experience of God's peace Legalism, which stops our enjoyment of God's presence ~ Beth Moore
Knowing God quotes by Beth Moore
When you recognize the angels, you have come to know God in your own way. ~ Terry Taylor
Knowing God quotes by Terry Taylor
Fruits of the Spirit

GOODNESS and KINDNESS live in the hearts of those who have suffered greatly, as the wounded tend to learn compassion through their misery. GENTLENESS is born out of the adversity that has challenged a believer, but who has then released all hopes for vindication to the power of God. PEACE is a fruit that grows from seeds of trust. LOVE matures as we learn to give up pieces of ourselves for the benefit of others, knowing full well that every piece we loose is replaced by an even more wondrous portion of Christ. JOY comes from knowing God and experiencing His strength during trials. PATIENCE is learned through experiences of long-suffering and allows the saint to move forward on his earthy journey, while always longing for his real home in heaven. FAITHFULNESS means commitment. It is a sold-out attitude and stance that resonates a belief in God's unquestionable ability to do the impossible. Finally, the believer who suffers in the name of Christ for love's sake grows in SELF-CONTROL. With this final fruit, the temptations of the devil lesson and loose their power. We gain strength by gaining self-control. ~ Cheryl Zelenka
Knowing God quotes by Cheryl Zelenka
Let all our employment be to know God: the more one knows Him, the more one desires to know Him. ~ Brother Lawrence
Knowing God quotes by Brother Lawrence
The more we get to know God, the more we want to know him better. ~ D. A. Carson
Knowing God quotes by D. A. Carson
True Prayer is the work of relationship, where He moves them from mere information about Him to a one-on-one experience with Him, so that now when they talk about "knowing God," they mean more than, "I understand what you're saying about God," but also, "It fits my experience of Him. ~ Geoffrey Wood
Knowing God quotes by Geoffrey Wood
Knowing God is the condition for the sanctification of a human being by God's assistance and according to His intention. Wherever God is, there He is always creating ... He wants to create a new human being. To need God is to become new. And to know God is the crucial thing. ~ Soren Kierkegaard
Knowing God quotes by Soren Kierkegaard
Your Saying "God is Most Great" does not mean that He is greater than something else, since there is nothing else alongside of Him, so that it could be said that He is greater than it. Rather, the meaning of Allahu Akbar is that He is much too great to be perceived by the senses or for the depths of His Majesty to be reached by reason and logic, and indeed, that He is much too great to be known by an other-than-Him for truly, no one knows God but God. ~ Ibn Ata Allah
Knowing God quotes by Ibn Ata Allah
I know God can cut it (popularity) off in a minute. ~ Charles Stanley
Knowing God quotes by Charles Stanley
The best way to know God's will is to be familiar with the Bible. ~ Pat Robertson
Knowing God quotes by Pat Robertson
Knowing God is more important than knowing about God. ~ Karl Rahner
Knowing God quotes by Karl Rahner
God, as I use the word, is another name for what is. I always know God's intention: It's exactly what is in every moment. ~ Byron Katie
Knowing God quotes by Byron Katie
Without knowing your Spirit you cannot know God. ~ Nirmala Srivastava
Knowing God quotes by Nirmala Srivastava
I am not asking whether you know things about Him but do you know God, are you enjoying God, is God the centre of your life, the soul of your being, the source of your greatest joy? He is meant to be. ~ David Lloyd-Jones
Knowing God quotes by David Lloyd-Jones
God is not simply other than our knowledge of Him. It is through God and God alone that we know God. Descartes elaborates this in this way: We know God because he left a mark of Himself in us; this mark is nothing other than our self-consciousness. Knowing God through this mark of His, we know God in every act of reason. ~ Sebastian Rödl
Knowing God quotes by Sebastian Rödl
Only he who knows God is truly moral. ~ Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling
Knowing God quotes by Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling
I have never come to know God, to see God, to believe in God through doing science. He's not the conclusion of some sort of process of my personal scientific investigation. ~ George Coyne
Knowing God quotes by George Coyne
And I know that God and His grace are sufficient for the moment I find myself in. When I wake up tomorrow, whatever the challenges, I know God will be there and will provide His grace. This is my hope. This is my strength. ~ Ed Dobson
Knowing God quotes by Ed Dobson
Not only do we know God through Jesus Christ, we only know ourselves through Jesus Christ. ~ Blaise Pascal
Knowing God quotes by Blaise Pascal
