The principle part of faith is patience.
George MacDonald
Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God.
Hebrews 10:9
The King James Version
I am filled with shame and confusion, when I reflect on the one hand upon the great favors which God has done, and incessantly continues to do; and on the other, upon the ill use I have made of them, and my small advancement in the way of perfection.

God only is holy. He alone knows how to lead His children in the paths of holiness. He knows every aspect of your soul, every thought of your heart, every secret of your character, its difficulties and hindrances. He knows how to mould you to His will, and lead you onwards to perfect sanctification. He knows exactly how each event, each trial, each temptation, will tell upon you, and he disposes all things accordingly. The consequences of this belief, if fully grasped, will influence your whole life. You will seek to give yourself up to God more and more unreservedly, asking nothing, refusing nothing, wishing nothing, but what He wills. Instead of seeking to bring things about for yourself, you will take all He sends joyfully, and believe the “one step” set before you to be enough for you. You will be satisfied that even though there are clouds around, and your way seems dark, He is directing all, and that what seems a hindrance will prove a blessing, since He wills it.
Jean Nicolas Grou
Consecrate yourselves today to the LORD,
Exodus 32:29

But for you who fear my name the sun of righteousness shall rise, with healing in its wings. You shall go forth leaping like calves from the stall.

A man should be encouraged to do what the Maker of him has intended by the making of him, according as the gifts have been bestowed on him for that purpose. His happiness, and that of others around him depends upon such a relation to the Maker’s will.
Thomas Carlyle
Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.
Psalm 57:1
The King James Version
Come and share a pot of tea,
My home is warm and my friendship’s free.

How does our will become sanctified? By conforming itself unreservedly to that of God. We will all that He wills, and will nothing that He does not will; we attach our feeble will to that all-powerful will which performs everything. Thus, nothing can ever come to pass against this will; for nothing can happen save that which God wills, and we find in His good pleasure an inexhaustible source of peace and consolation.
François Fénelon
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might;
Ecclesiastes 9:10
The King James Version
In the name of Jesus Christ who was never in a hurry, we pray, O God, that You will slow us down, for we know that we live too fast. With all eternity before us, make us take time to live—time to get acquainted with You, time to enjoy Your blessing, and time to know each other.

My faith hath no bed to sleep upon but omnipotency.
Samuel Rutherford
How can I know all the sins lurking in my heart? Cleanse me from these hidden faults.
Psalm 19:12
The New Living Translation
Joy is not gush; joy is not jolliness. Joy is just perfect acquiescence in God’s will because the soul delights itself in God Himself.

The will of God is never defeated, though much is done that is contrary to His will…Even what is done in opposition to His will does not defeat His will.
Augustine
If someone says, “I love God,” but hates a fellow believer, that person is a liar; for if we don’t love people we can see, how can we love God, whom we cannot see? And he has given us this command: Those who love God must also love their fellow believers.
1 John 4:20-21
The New Living Translation
And help us, this and every day,
To live more nearly as we pray.

Neither go back in fear and misgiving to the past, nor in anxiety and forecasting to the future. Instead, lie quiet under His hand, having no will but His.
Henry E. Manning
And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
Luke 12:15
The King James Version
The light of faith confers upon us undreamed-of enhancement of our vision, an extension of our understanding, an enrichment of our natural powers beyond the powers of words to convey.
