Quotes About Change
It is not so true that “prayer changes things” as that prayer changes me and I change things. God has so constituted things that prayer on the basis of Redemption alters the way in which a man looks at things. Prayer is not a question of altering things externally, but of working wonders in a man’s disposition. Oswald Chambers
Many times we are content with sitting on the sidelines, always hearing about other’s lives being changed in huge ways and God being so important in their life. We go to church and hear people talk about what God has been doing in their life. We go to events and conferences that we hope will microwave our Christian maturity to well done. We read books on how other’s lives were changed. And that is good enough for us, but deep down inside, we wish we could have that happen in our own life. So we make promises to try harder. We recommit our lives to Jesus. We might begin having devotions more often. But, after a while, the desire dies off and the excitement has turned into duty and we give up. Obedience makes the difference in a life that is sold out for God. It is seeing what God does with our attitude of following what He has in the Bible that brings about change in our hearts and a Christian walk that is on fire. Zack Conrad
Will power does not change men. Time does not change men. Christ does. Henry Drummond
Christians are supposed not merely to endure change, nor even to profit by it, but to cause it. Harry Emerson Fosdick
He who shall introduce into public affairs the principles of basic Christianity will change the face of the world. Benjamin Franklin
We can create as magnificent an environment as we like, but unless we change the heart it’s all a waste of time. John Hagee
Everyone wants to change, but change demands desire and discipline before it becomes delightful. There is always the agony of choice before the promise of change. Larry Lea
God can change our circumstances, but sometimes He waits for us to show real desire for change as well as our faith in Him. Anne Graham Lotz
For you who wonder if you’ve played too long to change, take courage from Jacob’s legacy. No man is too bad for God. To transform a riverboat gambler into a man of faith would be no easy task. But for God, it was all in a night’s work. Max Lucado
Our past experiences may have made us the way we are, but we don’t have to stay that way. Joyce Meyer
The question isn’t were you challenged. The question is were you changed? Leonard Ravenhill
All great change in America begins at the dinner table. Ronald Reagan
What you need to do, is to put your will over completely into the hands of your Lord, surrendering to Him the entire control of it. Say, “Yes, Lord, YES!” to everything, and trust Him to work in you to will, as to bring your whole wishes and affections into conformity with His own sweet, and lovable, and most lovely will. It is wonderful what miracles God works in wills that are utterly surrendered to Him. He turns hard things into easy, and bitter things into sweet. It is not that He puts easy things in the place of the hard, but He actually changes the hard thing into an easy one. Hannah Whitall Smith
We cannot change our past. We can not change the fact that people act in a certain way. We can not change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. Chuck Swindoll
Do we willingly witness, serve, and pray in the hope and expectation that people will change for the better? Or do we wish for judgement to come, for God to destroy those we identify as “the wicked”? We struggle to understand the depth of God’s mercy. But the ultimate goal of doing and being is that we and all the world may walk in God’s way and discover life abundant. George J. Waggoner
If you feel stuck, bring your whole self to Christ, not just the problem, but you. Ask God to change your heart. Commit yourself to pray to that end. It’s God’s heart to give good gifts to His children. Sheila Walsh
Change always starts in your mind. The way you think determines the way you feel, and the way you feel influences the way you act. Rick Warren
Nothing paralyzes our lives like the attitude that things can never change. We need to remind ourselves that God can change things. Outlook determines outcome. If we see only the problems, we will be defeated; but if we see the possibilities in the problems, we can have victory. Warren Wiersbe
Little men with little minds and little imaginations go through life in little ruts, smugly resisting all changes which would jar their little worlds. Zig Ziglar
