GOD’S
WILL

The will of God will never take you where the grace of God cannot keep you.

Author unknown

A man’s heart is right when he wills what God wills.

Thomas Aquinas

When I vacillated about my decision to serve the Lord my God, it was I who willed, and I who willed not, and nobody else. I was fighting against myself. All you asked was that I cease to want what I willed, and begin to want what you willed.

Augustine of Hippo

Though the sky fall, let Thy will be done.

Thomas Browne

The ground of discrimination that exists among men is the sovereign will of God and that alone; but the ground of damnation to which the reprobate are consigned is sin and sin alone.

John Calvin

In doing [God’s] will we find our peace.

Dante

The end of life is not to deny self, nor to be true, nor to keep the Ten Commandments – it is simply to do God’s will.

Henry Drummond

Inside the will of God there is no failure. Outside the will of God there is no success.

Benard Edinger

If I want only pure water, what does it matter to me whether it be brought in a vase of gold or of glass? What is it to me whether the will of God be presented to me in tribulation or consolation, since I desire and seek only the Divine will?

Francis de Sales

The whole science of the saints consists in finding out and following God’s will.

Isidore of Seville

You are to think of yourself as only existing in this world to do God’s will. To think that you are your own is as absurd as to think you are self-created. It as an obvious first principle that you belong completely to God.

William Law

There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, “Thy will be done,” and those to whom God says, “All right, then, have it your way.”

C.S. Lewis

Rule. Hold this as a fixed verity, that that is best which God wills.

Joseph Symonds

The center of God’s will is our only safety.

Betsie ten Boom
