| Our heavenly King is pleased with all our graces: hot zeal and cool patience pleaseth Him; cheerful thankfulness and weeping repentance pleaseth Him; but none of them are welcome to Him without faith, as nothing can please Him without Christ. Author: Thomas Adams

| Faith comes through God's Word and through praise. Faith grows as you praise the Lord. Author: Wesley L. Duewel |
| The prayer of faith is a prayer willing to believe and prevail for God's answer in a situation that is utterly impossible. Regardless of the difficulty of the situation, you require no external confirmation but believe God in spite of appearance. Your eyes are on God, not on the situation. Author: Wesley L. Duewel

| Helplessness united with faith produces prayer, for without faith there can be no prayer. Author: Ole Hallesby |
| Faith in the sheltering wings of God does not remove physical danger or the need for precaution against it. We cannot ignore Beirut tourist advisories, or feed wild animals on our camping trips, or jump a hot motorcycle over a row of parked cars and trust God to keep us safe. We cannot smoke cigarettes like the Marlboro man and then claim the promises of Psalm 91 as our protection against lung cancer. A person who did these things would be a foolish believer and a foolish reader of Psalm 91. Author: Cornelius Plantinga |

| I have learned that faith means trusting in advance what will only make sense in reverse. Author: Philip Yancey |

| Faith is letting down our nets into the untransparent deeps, at the Divine command, not knowing what we shall take. Author: Frederick W. Faber |
| Any time we open ourselves up to fear, we fall prey to his deceptions and intimidations. Yet, if we submit our hearts to God and stand in faith, we can resist those first fearful thoughts. As we yield to God we can master our reactions to fear and the enemy will soon flee. Author: Francis Frangipane |
| The faith that relentlessly asks God, also pleases God. Now, as the fullness of the times unfolds, as the world around us clothes itself in prophetic fulfillments, let us put away fear and repent of withdrawal. Author: Francis Frangipane |
