I think faith is incredibly important because you will become overwhelmed with what’s happening and you will have waves of grief, but when you turn to your faith, I believe God will give you waves of grace to get through it.

The separation of church and state is a source of strength, but the conscience of our nation does not call for separation between men of state and faith in the Supreme Being.

But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

God is, even though the whole world deny him. Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained.

Let your religion be less of a theory and more of a love affair.

A man can no more diminish God’s glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, ‚darkness‘ on the walls of his cell.

If you’re in a workplace you don’t like right now, be encouraged because God will use it for your good. Think about it this way: He wants you to be a light in the darkness – and He’s putting His confidence in you!

You see, God helps only people who work hard. That principle is very clear.

Religion is just mind control.

The ultimate connection is when you are connected to the creator of the universe.

Most people do not pray; they only beg.

I believe that a trusting attitude and a patient attitude go hand in hand. You see, when you let go and learn to trust God, it releases joy in your life. And when you trust God, you’re able to be more patient. Patience is not just about waiting for something… it’s about how you wait, or your attitude while waiting.

How shall I lose the sin, yet keep the sense, and love the offender, yet detest the offence?

No one can live without relationship. You may withdraw into the mountains, become a monk, a sannyasi, wander off into the desert by yourself, but you are related. You cannot escape from that absolute fact. You cannot exist in isolation.

You carry Mother Earth within you. She is not outside of you. Mother Earth is not just your environment.

I want to know all Gods thoughts; all the rest are just details.

To believe in God is impossible not to believe in Him is absurd.

Let go of yesterday. Let today be a new beginning and be the best that you can, and you’ll get to where God wants you to be.

We are never defeated unless we give up on God.

I believe in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

What if others suffer shipwreck, yet none that sail with Jesus have ever been stranded yet.

The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and left untried.

The ways of the Lord are different from the ways of man. Man’s ways remove people from office or business when they grow old or become disabled. But man’s ways are not and never will be the Lord’s ways.

I just want to lobby for God.

I believe if you keep your faith, you keep your trust, you keep the right attitude, if you’re grateful, you’ll see God open up new doors.

First of all, you ask me if the God of Christians forgives one who doesn’t believe and doesn’t seek the faith. Premise that – and it’s the fundamental thing – the mercy of God has no limits if one turns to him with a sincere and contrite heart; the question for one who doesn’t believe in God lies in obeying one’s conscience.

To those whose God is honor; only disgrace is a sin.

Faith is easy; I think people complicate it.

On a spiritual level, it’s as though with my sighted eye I see what’s before me, and with my unsighted eye I see what’s hidden. It’s illuminated life more than darkened it.

Whether we’re happy with our circumstances or not, giving God praise is so important.

When doubt comes against us, we have to lift up the shield of faith. We do this when we open our mouth and say what God’s Word says, rather than grumbling and complaining about the problem.

Men would be angels, angels would be gods.

I sincerely hope I can contribute to the progress there has been in relations between Jews and Catholics since the Second Vatican Council in a spirit of renewed collaboration.

I do think there must be some kind of interaction between your living life and the life that goes on from here.

Motives reveal why we do what we do, which is actually more important to God than what we’re doing.

God’s mercy and grace give me hope – for myself, and for our world.

In 1995, I was diagnosed with cancer, and I had to practice what I preached. I had always said to ‚believe in God‘ and ‚don’t give up‘ to little kids who had been diagnosed with cancer. I then thought if I can’t call on that same God and same strength that I told people about, I would be a liar and a phony.

I’m amazed sometimes by the Christians who don’t really believe that God wants to help them and bless them.

Only he can take great resolves who has indomitable faith in God and has fear of God.

The great question of our time is, ‚Will we be motivated by materialistic philosophy or by spiritual power?‘

It is a most delightful reflection that if I come to the throne of God in prayer, I may feel a thousand defects, but yet there is hope. I usually feel more dissatisfied with my prayers than with anything else I do.

Day by day we should weigh what we have granted to the spirit of the world against what we have denied to the spirit of Jesus, in thought and especially in deed.

Indeed, the Lord has not forgotten! He has blessed us and others throughout the world with the Book of Mormon.

God tries you in certain, certain ways. Some people are rich, and they believe in God. They lose the money, things get hard, they get weak and quit going to church. Quit serving God like they did.

Spiritual relationship is far more precious than physical. Physical relationship divorced from spiritual is body without soul.

A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history.

I am a sinner. This is the most accurate definition. It is not a figure of speech, a literary genre. I am a sinner.

The spirit desires to remain with its body, because, without the organic instruments of that body, it can neither act, nor feel anything.

To be an atheist requires an indefinitely greater measure of faith than to recieve all the great truths which atheism would deny.

By its birth, and for all time, Christianity is pledged to the Cross and dominated by the sign of the Cross. It cannot remain its own self except by identifying itself ever more intensely with the essence of the Cross.

I work very hard, but when God opens that door for you – when life opens that door for you, I should say – I think it’s important to be giving, to return the love back.

I have treated many hundreds of patients. Among those in the second half of life – that is to say, over 35 – there has not been one whose problem in the last resort was not that of finding a religious outlook on life.

If you will do what God tells you to do, there’s no person on Earth and no devil in Hell that can keep you from having what God wants you to have.

The person you consider ignorant and insignificant is the one who came from God, that he might learn bliss from grief and knowledge from gloom.

The truths of religion are never so well understood as by those who have lost the power of reason.

I’m trying to throw a big broad net to try to get people interested in God and believe that He’s for them and has a purpose.

Death is no more than passing from one room into another. But there’s a difference for me, you know. Because in that other room I shall be able to see.

Act, and God will act.

Religion can be the enemy of God. It’s often what happens when God, like Elvis, has left the building.

We’re not like robots. God promises to guide us through the Holy Spirit, but He gives us the freedom to make our own decisions.

I just think that trusting God means we’re going to have unanswered questions, and God is so much bigger than us, we’re never going to understand them all.
