― A.W. Tozer, The Classic Works of A. W. Tozer

“To most people God is an inference, not a reality. He is a deduction from evidence which they consider adequate; but He remains personally unknown to the individual. “He must be,” they say, “therefore, we believe He is.” Others do not go even so far as this; they know of Him only by hearsay. They have never bothered to think the matter out for themselves, but have heard about Him from others, and have put belief in Him into the back of their minds, along with the various odds and ends that make up their total creed.”
― A.W. Tozer, The Pursuit of God

“Do not be thinking of how little you have to bring God, but of how much He wants to give you.”
― Andrew Murray, Lord, Teach Us To Pray

“Today worrying means to be occupied and preoccupied with many things, while at the same time being bored, resentful, depressed, and very lonely.”
