God buries His workmen but carries on His work.
God made a very obvious choice when he made me voluptuous; why would I go against what he decided for me? My limbs work, so I'm not going to complain about the way my body is shaped.
It takes time and energy, and if I'm working, then I'd rather flop in front of the telly than put on a tiny dress and work out how to get myself to God knows where. I mean, lazy some would call it.
I always ask God to work through me and let me be a light of some kind and help in this world, so I always pray for that, and I always want to do good.
If prayer puts God to work on earth, then, by the same token, prayerlessness rules God out of the world's affairs and prevents Him from working.
In doing God's work, there is no substitute for praying. The men of prayer cannot be displaced with other kinds of men.
Men of prayer, before anything else, are indispensable to the furtherance of the kingdom of God on earth. No other sort will fit in the scheme or do the deed. Men, great and influential in other things but small in prayer, cannot do the work Almighty...
Prayer lays hold upon God and influences Him to work. This is the meaning of prayer as it concerns God. This is the doctrine of prayer, or else there is nothing whatever in prayer.
When we say that prayer puts God to work, it is simply to say that man has it in his power by prayer to move God to work in His own way among men, in which way He would not work if prayer was not made.
The earth was cursed for Adam's sake. Work is our blessing, not our doom. God has a work to do, and so should we.
The highest reward that God gives us for good work is the ability to do better work.
I was an assistant director for a year, and I realized, 'God, this is a lot of hard work. This is going to take time. So what's the shortcut? What's the better option?' Then thankfully, someone said, 'Why don't you become an actor?'
Ministers of God's choosing are engaged in a great work. They are warring not merely against men, but Satan and his angels.
The Jews did not go into darkness all at once. It was a gradual work, until they could not discern the gift of God in sending his Son.
If God can work through me, he can work through anyone.
I have been all things unholy. If God can work through me, he can work through anyone.
I admire certain priests and nuns who go off on their own and do God's work on their own, who help in the ghettos, but as far as the institution of the church is concerned, I think it is despicable.
I'm glad I don't have to make a living farming. Too much hard work. Too many variables you don't have control over, like, is it going to rain? All I can say is, god bless the real farmers out there.
The artist must be in his work as God is in creation, invisible and all-powerful; one must sense him everywhere but never see him.
The author, in his work, must be like God in the Universe, present everywhere and visible nowhere.
How important it is to ascertain the will of God, before we undertake anything, because we are then not only blessed in our own souls, but also the work of our hands will prosper.
