Kindle Notes & Highlights
You don’t need to seek opportunity. All you have to do is seek God. And if you seek God, opportunity will seek you.
You’ve got to do God’s will God’s way.
Don’t try to manufacture your own miracles. Don’t try to answer your own prayers. Don’t try to do God’s job for Him. Stay humble. Stay patient. Stay focused. Keep circling.
We don’t doubt God’s ability to keep the planets in orbit, but we have a difficult time believing He can keep our lives in orbit.
Our job is to hear His voice. His job is to establish our steps. And if we do our job, God will do His!
We need to work like it depends on us, but we also need to pray like it depends on God.
If we give more of ourselves to God, God will give more of Himself to us.
Sometimes the purpose of prayer is to get us out of circumstances, but more often than not, the purpose of prayer is to get us through them.
We’re often so anxious to get out of difficult, painful, or challenging situations that we fail to grow through them.
It simply means I’m asking for the wrong thing or for the wrong reason or at the wrong time.
The primary purpose of prayer is not to change circumstances; the primary purpose of prayer is to change us!
God won’t answer 100 percent of the prayers we don’t pray.
God is offended when we ask Him to do things we can do ourselves.
There are times when you need to do whatever it takes.
God doesn’t answer prayer just to give us what we want; God answers prayer to bring glory to His name.
When we pray, we relieve ourselves of responsibility. We let go and let God.
the answer isn’t up to us. It’s not our job to answer; it’s our job to ask.

We don’t get a vision from God by going to conferences. We might get some good ideas, but God-ideas are only revealed in the presence of God.
prayer is the difference between the best you can do and the best God can do.
Are my problems bigger than God, or is God bigger than my problems?
once we embrace the omnipotence of God, we’ll draw ever-enlarging circles around our God-given, God-sized dreams.
“Everyone who’s ever taken14 a shower has had an idea. It’s the person who gets out of the shower, dries off, and does something about it who makes a difference.”
The viability of our prayers has more to do with intensity than vocabulary. It has more to do with what we do than what we say.
Don’t just pray about it; act on it.
Bold prayers honor God and God honors bold prayers.
The more you pray, the more you notice; the less you pray, the less you notice.
Prayer creates divine opportunities.
Prayer is not a monologue; it’s a dialogue.
God speaks to us through dreams, desires, promptings, impressions, and ideas.
A little faith goes a long way; in fact, a little faith will last an eternity.
We need the patience of the planter. We need the foresight of the farmer. We need the mind-set of the sower.
If you sow kindness, you will reap kindness. If you sow generosity, you will reap generosity. If you sow love, you will reap love.

Sometimes God will push us to our absolute limits — the limits of our faith, of our patience, of our gifts. That is how God stretches our faith and builds our character.
God doesn’t call the qualified; He qualifies the called.
If you wait until you’re ready, you’ll be waiting for the rest of your life.
As Christ-followers, we are called to take a why not approach to life.
we’re so afraid of doing the wrong thing that it keeps us from doing the right thing.
Faith is not faith until it is acted on.
God is with us, and God is for us.
