Elisabeth Elliot
“Teach me to treat all that comes to me with peace of soul and with firm conviction that Your will governs all. In unforeseen events let me not forget that all are sent by You.”
Elisabeth Elliot, A Path Through Suffering

Elisabeth Elliot
“Does our faith rest on having prayers answered as we think they should be answered, or does it rest on that mighty love that went down into death for us?”
Elisabeth Elliot, A Path Through Suffering

Elisabeth Elliot
“Those who speak most deeply to our hearts in times of trouble are invariably those who have suffered. They have much to give. We recognize its authenticity and willingly receive it. They testify to the truth of Solomon’s wisdom, “He who refreshes others will himself be refreshed” (Prv 11:25). So the cycle continues—love’s sacrifice (not only of the disfigured leaves, but even of the fair, new petals), then the fruit of that sacrifice in the blessing of others, and that blessing rebounding to the refreshment of the one who sacrificed. “If a man will let himself be lost for my sake, that man is safe” (Lk 9:24).”
Elisabeth Elliot, A Path Through Suffering

Elisabeth Elliot
“It is a merciful Father who strips us when we need to be stripped, as the tree needs to be stripped of its blossoms. He is not finished with us yet, whatever the loss we suffer, for as we loose our hold on visible things, the invisible become more precious—where our treasure is, there will our hearts be.”
Elisabeth Elliot, A Path Through Suffering

Elisabeth Elliot
“Suffering creates the possibility of growth in, holiness, but only to those who, by letting all else go, are open to the training—not by arguing with the Lord about what they did or did not do to deserve punishment, but by praying, “Lord, show me what You have for me in this.”
Elisabeth Elliot, A Path Through Suffering
