30 Faith Quotes – Inspiration for a Life of Faith

Victoria riollano.

Need some faith quotes for today? We're right here with you.

At some point in everyone’s Christian journey, they will be forced to have faith. From accepting that a God whom you’ve never seen loves you, to trusting God in the unexpected tragedies of life, without faith we would have nothing to cling to. Even more so, faith fuels our prayer lives and our trust in God. By faith, we can trust that the God we serve is all-knowing and has our best interest at heart, even when we don’t understand the plan. We can serve the Lord from what we know to be true about His nature versus what we see in front of us.

“And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.” – Hebrews 11:6

There is no greater time than now to trust God in all things. Faith in a God who is bigger than what we can see with our own eyes is needed more than ever! From insurmountable racial tensions, to a global pandemic, and division amongst the church, we must trust that God is watching over all and has not forgotten the cry of His people. It is our faith that will bring us comfort, hope, and joy when it seems all is falling apart around us.

With this in mind, let’s be encouraged with 30 quotes to motivate your faith to grow deeper.

Powerful Christian Quotes on Prayer

I believe we often (unintentionally) downplay the importance of prayer because we’ve never truly grasped it’s magnitude and effectiveness.

•  “Faith does not eliminate questions. But faith knows where to take them.” Elisabeth Elliot

Not all of us are gifted with the ability to write and speak eloquent truths like these authors and pastors above. However, we are each given a voice in our tiny sphere of influence. May we use the power of our words to build each other up and share the hope of Christ.

Walking in faith: 20 encouraging christian quotes.

Walking in faith is a profound experience that shapes the core of Christian living. It's about trusting in God's plan, seeking His presence in every step, and relying on His strength to overcome the challenges of life. This collection of 20 encouraging Christian quotes serves as a beacon of hope and inspiration, offering wisdom and guidance for those who seek to deepen their walk with God. Let these powerful words resonate in your heart and uplift your spirit as you journey through faith.

Key Takeaways

Walking in faith is a journey that aligns one's life with God's purpose and direction.

The wisdom of influential Christians and scripture provides guidance and encouragement for a faith-filled life.

Quotes from figures like Henry Ford and Dwight L. Moody emphasize the importance of choosing God's path over the world's.

Biblical passages such as 2 Corinthians 5:7 and Romans 1:17 highlight the significance of living by faith, not by sight.

Incorporating these Christian quotes into daily life can inspire believers to remain steadfast and bold in their faith, even amidst challenges.

1. Henry Ford

While not typically known for his religious insights, Henry Ford, the founder of Ford Motor Company, has been attributed with a quote that resonates with many Christians: "Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right." This statement, although secular in nature, parallels the Christian belief in the power of faith and the self-fulfilling prophecy of one's beliefs.

Faith, akin to the conviction in one's own abilities, plays a pivotal role in the Christian walk. It is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. In the context of faith, this quote encourages believers to trust in their God-given potential and to approach life's challenges with a positive, can-do attitude.

Embrace the power of positive thinking.

Trust in the providence of God.

Walk confidently in faith, knowing that your mindset shapes your reality.

2. Dwight L. Moody

Dwight L. Moody, a renowned evangelist and publisher, emphasized the transformative power of the Scriptures in a believer's life. "The Bible was not given for our information but for our transformation." This statement encapsulates Moody's belief in the Bible's role not just as a text, but as a living guide.

Moody's teachings often revolved around the necessity of engaging with the Bible for spiritual growth. He asserted that a true understanding of the Bible is essential for a fruitful Christian life. Here are a few key points from his perspective:

The Bible is the ultimate source of truth and guidance.

It is crucial for Christians to be students of the Bible to live a life pleasing to God.

Grace becomes evident when one acknowledges their need for it, and the Bible leads us to this realization.

Moody's insights remind us that the journey of faith is one of continual learning and application of God's Word.

3. Jack Hyles

Jack Hyles, a prominent Baptist preacher, was known for his passionate sermons and commitment to evangelism. One of his notable quotes reflects on the authority and impact of the Bible in a believer's life:

"The Bible is not the book of the month; it is the book of the ages."

This statement emphasizes the timeless and enduring nature of the Scriptures. Hyles believed that the Bible holds the ultimate truth that transcends generations and cultures. His teachings often encouraged Christians to engage deeply with the Word of God, not just as a historical text, but as a living guide for faith and practice.

In the journey of walking in faith, Hyles' perspective serves as a reminder of the importance of grounding one's beliefs and actions in the biblical truths. His legacy continues to inspire many to approach the Bible not as a mere book, but as the divine compass for life's path.

4. Tullian Tchividjian

Tullian Tchividjian, a pastor and author, emphasizes the importance of engaging deeply with the Bible, not just as a collection of stories, but as a source of doctrine and guidance for living a faithful life. "It's no longer enough to teach our children Bible stories; they need doctrine and apologetics," he asserts, highlighting the need for a robust understanding of Christian faith.

In approaching the Bible, consider these reflective questions:

What is God teaching you about Himself in His Word?

What is God teaching you about yourself?

Are you being vulnerable with God about any struggles you may have reading His Word?

Tchividjian's perspective encourages believers to not only read the Bible but to study it with intentionality, allowing it to shape their understanding of God and themselves. The relationship with the Word is indicative of one's relationship with God, urging a commitment to personal Bible study and openness to divine guidance.

5. J. C. Ryle

"Knowledge of the Bible never comes by intuition. It can only be obtained by diligent, regular, daily, attentive reading." — J.C. Ryle

J.C. Ryle emphasizes the importance of consistent engagement with the Scriptures. He suggests that a deep understanding of the Bible is not something that happens by chance, but rather through a committed and disciplined approach.

The Bible should be a staple in our daily lives, not reserved for occasional use.

Engaging with the Bible regularly can stir up our spiritual practices, such as prayer and reflection on salvation.

Ryle's insights encourage us to treat the Bible not just as a book, but as the daily bread for our spiritual nourishment. His words remind us that the path to wisdom and spiritual growth is paved with the pages of Scripture .

6. Leonard Ravenhill

Leonard Ravenhill, a Christian evangelist and author, was known for his deep passion for revival and his poignant quotes about faith and prayer. One of his most encouraging statements for those walking in faith is, "Smart men walked on the moon, daring men walked on the ocean floor, but wise men walk with God." This quote encapsulates the essence of spiritual wisdom over worldly achievements.

Ravenhill's emphasis on the importance of a personal relationship with God highlights the transformative power of faith. He believed that such a relationship would lead to a life less prone to spiritual 'scrapes' as one aligns more closely with divine guidance. His words serve as a reminder that the journey of faith is not just about reaching a destination, but about the companionship and guidance we receive along the way.

The pursuit of knowledge and adventure is commendable.

Yet, the wisdom gained from walking with God is unparalleled.

It is this divine fellowship that offers true enlightenment and strength for life's journey.

7. 2 Corinthians 5:7

The passage from 2 Corinthians 5:7 encapsulates the profound metamorphosis that takes place within an individual through faith in Christ. "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" This verse is a testament to the transformative power of being united with Christ, signifying a rebirth into a life of righteousness.

Embracing this new identity involves shedding the past and stepping into a future shaped by holiness and truth. The journey of faith is marked by continuous growth and renewal, as believers become more like their Creator. This transformation is not just a one-time event but an ongoing process that reflects the dynamic nature of spiritual life.

Key points to consider from 2 Corinthians 5:7 include:

The importance of being 'in Christ' for true transformation.

The concept of the old self being replaced by a new creation.

The ongoing nature of spiritual renewal and growth.

8. Romans 1:17

The book of Romans is rich with teachings on faith, and Romans 1:17 is a cornerstone verse for believers. It states, "For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: 'The righteous will live by faith.'" This verse encapsulates the essence of the Christian doctrine of justification by faith.

The righteousness of God is a key theme in Romans, emphasizing that it is not through our own efforts that we are made right with God, but through faith in Jesus Christ.

The phrase "from first to last" indicates that this righteousness is not temporary or partial, but complete and enduring.

"The righteous will live by faith" is a call to a life of trust and reliance on God, not just a one-time act of belief.

This passage invites believers to reflect on the transformative power of the gospel and encourages a continuous walk in faith, trusting in God's righteousness provided to us through Christ.

9. John 1:1

The opening verse of the Gospel of John, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." encapsulates the profound truth of Jesus Christ's divine nature and His eternal existence. This verse sets the foundation for understanding the relationship between Christ and God, emphasizing that Jesus is not a created being but has been with God from the very beginning.

Faith in this truth is essential for Christians, as it affirms the deity of Christ and the belief in the Trinity. Walking in faith means acknowledging and holding onto this core aspect of Christian doctrine:

Jesus Christ is the Word.

He was with God from the beginning.

He is God Himself.

Embracing this truth guides believers in their spiritual journey, ensuring that their faith is rooted in the acknowledgment of Christ's divine identity and His role in the creation and sustenance of all things.

10. James 1:22

James 1:22 reminds us, "Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says." This verse calls Christians to be doers of the Word, not just listeners. It emphasizes the importance of putting faith into action.

Reflect on the message of the scriptures.

Apply the teachings to daily life.

Demonstrate faith through deeds.

True faith is active and alive, manifesting itself in the way we live our lives. It's about transformation, not just information. Let us strive to live out our faith with integrity and authenticity, aligning our actions with the teachings of Christ.

11. Philippians 4:13

Philippians 4:13 is a powerful testament to the strength and perseverance that faith in Christ provides. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." This verse serves as a reminder that, with faith, we are not limited by our own weaknesses or circumstances.

The verse encourages believers to rely on the strength that comes from a relationship with Jesus. It's not just about physical or mental capability; it's about the spiritual empowerment that enables us to overcome challenges and achieve what may seem impossible.

Trust in God's provision

Embrace the power of faith

Step forward with confidence

Whether facing daily tasks or life's significant hurdles, this verse calls us to walk in faith, knowing that we are equipped and empowered by Christ Himself.

12. God's Love

The essence of God's message to humanity is encapsulated in His profound love for us. God demonstrates His love not only through the words of the Bible but through the actions and sacrifices detailed within its pages. The Bible can be seen as a collection of love letters, a testament to the lengths God will go to for His beloved.

"God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." - Romans 5:8

"A friend loves at all times." - Proverbs 17:17

"Everything should be done in love." - 1 Corinthians 16:14

These verses remind us that God's love is unconditional, sacrificial, and enduring. It is a love that invites us into a personal relationship, one that is redemptive and beautiful. As we navigate through life's challenges, let us remember to turn to the Bible, to uncover the depth of God's love and the great price He paid for us.

13. Trusting God

Trusting in God is a foundational aspect of the Christian faith. It involves believing in His promises, relying on His strength, and accepting His plan for our lives, even when the path ahead seems uncertain.

"May you trust in God's plan for your life, even when it is difficult to understand." This encouragement reminds us that faith is not about having all the answers, but about being secure in the knowledge that God is in control.

When afraid, Psalm 56:3-4 teaches us to put our trust in God, for what can mere mortals do to us?

2 Corinthians 7:4 speaks of being greatly encouraged and having boundless joy amidst troubles through trust in God.

Psalm 138:3 assures us that when we call upon Him, He answers and emboldens us.

Trusting God does not mean that challenges will not come our way, but it does promise that we will never face them alone.

14. Who is God

The question of Who is God encompasses the infinite nature and character of the Divine. God is often described as the embodiment of love, mercy, and grace. These attributes are not just stated, but demonstrated throughout the Bible, offering a narrative of redemption and a personal relationship with humanity.

God's mercy is highlighted in scriptures such as Deuteronomy 4:31, which reassures us that He will not abandon or destroy us, but remember His promises.

His compassion and patience are evident in Exodus 34:6-7, where God is portrayed as slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.

The essence of God's character is further revealed through the life and sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Jesus, as God incarnate, lived a sinless life and took upon Himself the punishment meant for us, showcasing the profound depths of God's mercy and love.

15. Praising God

Praising God is an integral part of the Christian faith, reflecting gratitude and reverence for the divine. It is through praise that believers express their adoration and thankfulness for God's mercy and love. Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! This exclamation from 1 Peter 1:2-3 encapsulates the joy and hope born from the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

In the practice of praise, humility remains key. Recognizing that all good gifts and commendations we receive are not for our glory but for God's is essential. When praised by others, a believer might turn inward and say, "To Thee be praise and honour and glory, to me, confusion of face." This mindset helps maintain a focus on God's greatness rather than our own.

Here are some ways to incorporate praise into daily life:

Acknowledge God's hand in all successes and attribute them to His grace.

Offer prayers of thanksgiving for the blessings and lessons in life.

Sing hymns and spiritual songs that glorify God's name.

Share testimonies of God's work in your life with others, inspiring them to praise.

Remember, praising God is not just a Sunday activity but a continuous expression of faith and love towards the Creator.

Easter is a pivotal moment in the Christian faith, commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It's a time of reflection and celebration, marking the victory of life over death and light over darkness. Easter Sunday is the culmination of Holy Week , which includes Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday.

During this period, Christians around the world engage in various traditions and practices:

Attending church services to honor the resurrection.

Participating in Lenten observances leading up to Easter.

Reflecting on the sacrifice of Christ and its implications for faith and life.

The message of Easter offers hope and renewal, encouraging believers to walk in faith and embrace the transformative power of God's love.

17. Tattoos

The topic of tattoos in the Christian community often sparks diverse opinions and interpretations of biblical teachings. While the Bible does not directly address modern tattooing , passages such as Leviticus 19:28 have been discussed in the context of this practice.

Some Christians view tattoos as a form of artistic expression or a way to honor God and faith.

Others caution against tattoos, suggesting they may conflict with biblical principles of holiness and stewardship of the body.

Ultimately, the decision to get a tattoo is a personal one that requires prayerful consideration and, for many, consultation with their faith community.

Fear is a common human experience, but it is addressed with profound depth in Christian teachings. "There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear" (1 John 4:18), encapsulates the Christian approach to overcoming fear through the power of love.

The Bible offers numerous verses that encourage believers to face fear with faith and trust in God. For instance:

Psalm 27:1 reassures that the Lord is a stronghold, eliminating the need to fear.

Isaiah 41:10 offers comfort, reminding us that God is with us and will provide strength and help.

2 Timothy 1:7 emphasizes that the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but instead endows us with power, love, and self-discipline.

In moments of fear, Christians are encouraged to turn to these scriptures and others like them for solace and strength. The act of trusting in God's presence and love is a key step in overcoming the anxieties and fears that life may present.

19. Forgiveness

Forgiveness is a cornerstone of Christian faith, reflecting the mercy that God extends to us. James 2:13 reminds us that mercy triumphs over judgment, and those who show mercy can expect to receive it from God. Similarly, Matthew 6:15 warns that without forgiveness towards others, we cannot expect to receive forgiveness from our Father in heaven.

Forgiveness is not just a one-time act but a continuous journey that aligns us with God's will. Here are some steps to practice forgiveness:

Acknowledge the hurt and the person who caused it.

Decide to forgive as an act of your will, motivated by obedience to God.

Pray for the strength to forgive and for the well-being of the one who wronged you.

Let go of the bitterness and resentment, trusting that God will handle justice.

Remember, as Rick Warren puts it, we are never asked to forgive more than God has forgiven us. Let the enormity of God's mercy inspire you to extend forgiveness to others, just as He has done for you.

20. Dating And Relationships

In the Christian faith, dating and relationships are often viewed through the lens of scripture and the teachings of Jesus. Love is patient, love is kind (1 Corinthians 13:4-7) is a verse that resonates deeply with many believers, reminding them of the qualities that should define a loving partnership.

The Bible offers guidance on how to conduct oneself in a relationship, emphasizing the importance of faithfulness, respect, and selflessness. Here are a few principles to consider:

Seek a partner who shares your faith and values.

Practice open and honest communication.

Show love and grace, as you have been shown by God.

Navigating the waters of dating and relationships can be challenging, but with a foundation built on Christian principles, couples can strive for a relationship that honors God and each other.

Joy is a profound aspect of the Christian faith, often seen as a gift that transcends circumstances. "May your life be filled with joy and laughter, dear child," is a blessing that captures the essence of this fruit of the Spirit. Joy is not merely an emotion but a state of being that reflects an inner peace and contentment found in one's relationship with God.

In the pursuit of joy, consider these points:

Seek joy in the simple things, recognizing the blessings in both small and significant moments.

Cultivate a joyful heart through prayer, worship, and fellowship with other believers.

Remember that true joy often coexists with trials, serving as a testament to faith and resilience.

As Matthew 2:10 reminds us, the wise men "rejoiced with exceeding great joy" upon seeing the star that led them to Jesus. Similarly, may we find our greatest joy in the presence and promises of God.

22. Strength

In the journey of faith, strength is not merely a physical attribute but a spiritual fortitude that comes from trusting in the Lord. "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." (Joshua 1:9) This verse encapsulates the essence of divine strength that empowers believers to face life's adversities.

Strength in the Christian context is often associated with perseverance and resilience. It is the ability to stand firm in one's faith, even when the circumstances are daunting. Consider these points on strength:

It is a gift from God, enabling us to overcome challenges.

It grows through our experiences and is bolstered by our faith.

It is often most evident when we feel weak, for it is then that God's power is made perfect in us.

May you find encouragement in these words and the knowledge that your strength is renewed each day through your walk with God.

23. Loving Others

The Christian faith places a profound emphasis on the act of loving others . "Love your neighbor as yourself" is not just a commandment; it's a pathway to a fulfilling life in Christ. This love is not selective or conditional, but rather a love that extends to friends, family, and even those we may consider our enemies.

Luke 10:27 reminds us to love God with all our heart and our neighbors as ourselves.

1 Peter 4:8 teaches that love is earnest and powerful enough to cover a multitude of sins.

John 15:13 exemplifies the greatest form of love: laying down one's life for friends.

In our daily walk, expressing this love can take many forms, from simple acts of kindness to the ultimate sacrifice. It's a reflection of God's love for us, a love so profound that, as Romans 5:8 states, Christ died for us while we were still sinners. To walk in faith is to walk in love, constantly seeking to embody the love that Jesus demonstrated throughout His life.

24. Babu Tendu

The name Babu Tendu may not be widely recognized in the realm of Christian literature, yet it represents a voice that echoes the importance of boldness in faith. Walking the journey of life as a Christian involves facing many challenges that can test one's conviction and courage.

Boldness is not about the absence of fear, but the will to act in spite of it. Here are a few points to consider about boldness in the Christian walk:

Boldness comes from a deep trust in God's plan and purpose for our lives.

It empowers believers to speak the truth in love and to stand firm in their convictions.

A bold faith is often contagious, inspiring others to explore their relationship with God.

May we all find the boldness to walk in faith, even when the path is uncertain, and may our actions reflect the strength and love that comes from trusting in God.

25. Bible Verses About Boldness and more

The Christian walk is marked by moments that challenge our courage and resolve. Boldness is a virtue that is often highlighted in the Scriptures, encouraging believers to stand firm in their faith. Joshua 1:9 reminds us to "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." This verse, along with others, serves as a powerful reminder of God's presence and support.

The Bible is replete with verses that inspire confidence and boldness. Here are a few that stand out:

Proverbs 28:1: "The righteous are as bold as a lion."

Ephesians 3:12: "In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence."

2 Corinthians 3:12: "Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold."

These verses, among many others, provide a foundation for believers to live fearlessly, trusting in God's sovereignty and love. As we face the Goliaths in our lives, let us remember the example of David, who with faith and confidence in God, overcame insurmountable odds.

As we conclude this collection of 20 encouraging Christian quotes, it is our hope that these words have served as a beacon of inspiration and faith in your walk with God. Each quote, drawn from the wisdom of scripture and the insights of believers, is a reminder of the steadfast presence of God in our lives. Whether you are facing trials or celebrating triumphs, may these quotes remind you that you are never alone on your journey. Let the truth of these words resonate in your heart and guide your steps as you continue to walk in faith, not by sight, but with the assurance of God's unending love and grace.

These quotes serve as a reminder of God’s promises, lessons, or messages that he wants to tell us through other people. We find hope, peace, security, encouragement, inspiration, and strength through His words.

We encounter many inspirational religious quotes from different people, whether they are influential Christians or friends or family members. God uses us all as instruments to remind each other of His promises. Hence, when it comes to inspiration, we can all agree that there’s one inspirational source above all一 the one that comes from the Lord.

God’s promises help us face all situations, good and bad, in our lives. There are lessons and messages God wants us to discover. So, if we happen to face the same difficult situations again, we know how to deal with them. As Christians, it is our ultimate goal to reach out to people and point them back to God. So, we must speak with hope and love to encourage the people around us. Let these religious quotes from different influential Christians inspire us in our faith journey. 

Religious Quotes About Faith 

Faith is important as we walk through life with God. It is the assurance of the things revealed and promised in God’s words are true. Also, it is a gift from Him. When we put our trust in the Lord, whatever we expect in faith, it will come even if we don’t see it. Faith is believing that no matter what situation we are in, God is with us every step of the way. Holding on to God means we have confidence based on experience that God’s fresh surprises will be ours!

What do other people say about faith? Here are religious quotes about faith from influential Christians that remind us of how wonderful this gift from God is.

• “Life is wasted if we do not grasp the glory of the cross, cherish it for the treasure that it is, and cleave to it as the highest price of every pleasure and the deepest comfort in every pain. What was once foolishness to us—a crucified God—must become our wisdom and our power and our only boast in this world.” – John Piper
• “Always, everywhere God is present, and always He seeks to discover Himself to each one” – A. W. Tozer
• “This is our time on the history line of God. This is it. What will we do with the one deep exhale of God on this earth? For we are but a vapor and we have to make it count. We’re on. Direct us, Lord, and get us on our feet.” – Beth Moore
• “God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him” – John  Piper

The Foundation of Faith 

These religious quotes bring us to the beginning point of faith, which is understanding God’s character. He is who He says He is. And our endpoint is believing in His promises. Because we know that he is a great and promise-keeping God, we have the confidence to hold on to him. He will always carry out His promises. When we believe that he will fulfill his promises, even if we can’t see those promises materializing, we demonstrate true faith.

Having faith is the foundation of our salvation, too. Because God loves us so much, He sent His Son, Jesus, who sacrificed his life for our salvation (John 3:16). What he did on the cross breaks the barrier that separates us from God. And that alone is more than enough for us to surrender our lives and put our trust in him. He freed us from our sins and offered eternal life with him. Hence, we grasp that truth. Whatever challenges we face in this life, God’s word is our anchor.

No matter what words are used in these religious quotes, the thoughts behind them are the same. These religious quotes all point us back to God’s loving nature and grace. In each season . of our lives, it is great to remember that God is always with us. Even if we have lots of questions in mind, we can discover the deepest mysteries and find our answers when we trust God fully. This is true faith. God will always give us answers to all our questions and doubts. In him, we can find security. With his love, we will never get lost. 

The Faith of the Highly Favored 

Why can we put our hope in God? One privilege of accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour is that we have become part of God’s growing family. We are God’s children. Our identity and self-worth are based on the fact that God loves us. We are no longer the fearful slaves, but instead, we are God’s precious children. We have the best gifts God can give us. And these gifts include his Son, his Holy Spirit, forgiveness, and eternal life. Knowing that we are his children should encourage us to live like Christ. In him, we can find an identity that the world cannot take away. Remember, we are highly favored as his children. So, we must continue to strengthen and deepen our faith in Christ.

Here are some religious quotes to inspire faith and security in which we can find in God.

• “Remember who you are. Don’t compromise for anyone, for any reason. You are a child of the Almighty God. Live that truth.” – Lysa Terkeurst
• “What gives me the most hope every day is God’s grace; knowing that his grace is going to give me the strength for whatever I face, knowing that nothing is a surprise to God.” – Rick Warren
• “Remember whose you are and Whom you serve. Provoke yourself by recollection, and your affection for God will increase tenfold; your imagination will not be starved any longer but will be quick and enthusiastic, and your hope will be inexpressibly bright.” – Oswald Chambers
• “There is not a single thing that Jesus cannot change, control, and conquer because he is the living Lord.” – Franklin Graham
• “The greater your knowledge of the goodness and grace of God in your life, the more likely you are to praise Him in the storm.” – Matt Chandler 

The Beauty of God’s Grace 

When we live our lives in God, we will be filled with God’s grace. We can have the confidence of overcoming all trials and challenges we encounter. Why? Because our God is bigger and greater than the mountains. Whatever difficulties we are going through, a simple prayer can make a big difference. Because we have a loving and merciful God, we can find hope and security. We can find light amidst the darkness. He’ll give us the strength and courage to face everything. 

A reminder from Franklin Graham is that God is in control. He can change and control everything according to his will. We don’t have to worry about the things we can’t see because our God oversees everything, even the smallest detail. Rather than being negative, we can find joy and peace amidst our problems because our security is in God.  

Thus, Matt Chandler also reminds us that the more we understand God’s character, the more that we can trust Him with our lives. As we understand God’s loving nature, goodness, and grace, we can easily surrender all our fears, doubts, and worries to Him. So, how can we understand his nature? By reading the Bible. It contains all His promises to us. Whenever we feel lost or unsure, we can go to his words.

Inspiring Quotes About Love 

We all want to be loved and feel accepted. And we try to search for these things as we live through life. For temporary happiness, we are willing to take risks. But yet, in the end, we are hurt and broken. However, the love God offers is far greater than the love this world offers. Regardless of who we are, He loves us unconditionally. In God, we can find an acceptance and identity that the world cannot take from us. He forgives us for our sins and offers us eternal life through his Son, Jesus Christ. The vastness of his love is incomparable. So, we need to remember God’s love to renew our lives every day. Be reminded of his overwhelming love with these remarkable religious quotes. 

• “God loves each of us as if there were only one of us” – St. Augustine of Hippo 
• “The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt with the heart.” – Helen Keller
• “But the kind of love that God created and demonstrated is a costly one because it involves sacrifice and presence. It’s a love that operates more like a sign language than being spoken outright.” – Bob Goff
• “Though our feelings come and go, God’s love for us does not.” – C. S. Lewis
• “God’s love supply is never empty.” – Max Lucado 

God wants a  personal relationship with us. His love is unchanging. He knows us better than anyone, even ourselves. And though worldly love may change and end, God’s love will remain forever. In him, we’ll find a love that is overflowing and never-ending. This is the love that we must hold on to.

Religious Quotes About Loving Others

Have you helped someone today? Has someone lent a hand to you? No man is an island. God didn’t design us to live alone. We must interact with one another and lend a hand to those who are in need. Many people around the world have made a tremendous impact on society by showing love and compassion to others . In fact, many who are behind some of these religious quotes live by what they preach. 

Let these religious quotes about loving others serve as a reminder for us to become a blessing to others. 

• “We cannot all do great things, but we can do small things with great love.” – St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta
• “To love someone means to see him as God intended him.” – Fyodor Dostoevsky 
• “What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like.” – St. Augustine of Hippo
• “You will never really love until you love someone who hates you.” – Jack Hyles
• “The more we love, the love we have to offer. So it is with God’s love for us. It is inexhaustible.” – Mary C. Neal 

Known for her compassion towards other people, Mother Teresa of Calcutta became one of the most important icons of compassion and service. As she said, “even if we can’t do big things, however, the small things we do, we’ll create a huge impact as long as we do it with love”. If we become a lending hand to someone, though it may not be seen as a big help, it can be a big deal for them.

Encouraging Religious Quotes About Life 

Our journey is not always easy. In fact, sometimes we encounter various difficulties. We’ll have those seasons where we feel hopeless, anxious, and afraid of our circumstances, and we don’t know how to overcome it. And that is okay because it is part of life. During our weakest moments, we can see that God is stronger. When we feel lost, we know He’ll direct us towards the right path. So, we must tightly grip on to Him. Delighting amidst our challenges means we’re allowing God to work in our lives and fight our battles for us (2 Corinthians 12:10).

Everyone will face various trials and challenges in life. Whatever our status in life, difficult moments will come. Even the most popular or the richest person will encounter tough seasons. These religious quotes below are products of the situations faced by real people. May their remarkable quotations comfort and strengthen us to face hardships ahead of us.

• “ We gain strength and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face…we must do that which we think we cannot.” – Eleanor Roosevelt
• “There is no one who is insignificant in the purpose of God.” – Alistair Begg
• “Your potential is the sum of all the possibilities God has for your life.” – Charles Stanley
• “Faith makes all things possible. Love makes all things easy.” – Dwight L. Moody
• “We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.” – Chuck Swindoll 

Victories with God

Sometimes we feel like we’re experiencing the toughest battle ever, and we don’t know how to overcome it. But, God doesn’t give us challenges that we can’t survive. As we overcome our tough battles, with God, we learn lessons that will help us if ever we encounter the same problems again. Additionally, we gain more strength, courage, and confidence. So, the challenges we’re facing right now might become a pathway for greater opportunities. 

Whenever we feel worthless, a quote from Charles Stanley reminds us that we have much potential. As we live our lives with God, He can use us as instruments to advance His kingdom. Hence, we must work to deepen and strengthen our relationship with him. As we put our faith in him, we should follow what he says with love and grace. Let these religious quotes be a reminder we are precious to him. 

Motivational Religious Quotes About Trusting God’s Plan

This world is full of uncertainties, so we must put our trust in someone who is unchanging. We must incline our security to someone who is all-knowing and all-powerful. And who is that someone? Of course, it’s God. Trusting Him is important in our spiritual journey . We don’t know what awaits us in the future. However, we know that God has better plans for us (Jeremiah 29:11). Even if the world fails us a hundred times, God will never fail us. We shouldn’t hesitate to entrust all aspects of our life to Him. 

God’s word is timeless. His promises to us yesterday will continue tomorrow. We can always rely on his words. So, we can learn from these religious quotes on how we can continue to trust Him. 

• “ God never said that the journey would be easy, but He did say that the arrival would be worthwhile” – Max Lucado

God will meet us at our level. Even if we are at our lowest of lows, He can save and redeem us. He will guide us towards the plans he has for us.

Religious Quotes For Our Daily Lives

Every day is a brand new day and a blessing from God. The best way to start our day is to be reminded of God’s word. Hence, reading the Bible and doing our devotional or quiet time will surely help us find security and comfort in him. Whatever circumstances we’ll face that day, whether we encounter trials and challenges, we will not be shaken because our foundation is in him.

Here are the religious quotes from influential Christians that can inspire our lives every day.

• “The best thing about the future is that it comes only one day at a time.” – Abraham Lincoln
• “Relying on God has to start all over every day as if nothing has yet been done.” – C. S. Lewis
• “If you can’t fly, then run, If you can’t run, then walk, If you can’t walk, then crawl, but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward.” – Martin Luther King Jr.
• “The secret of happiness is to live moment by moment and to thank God for all that He, in His goodness, sends to us day after day.” – St. Gianna Molla
• “Let God’s promises shine on your problems.” – Corrie Ten Boom

Many of us are anxious for different reasons. We worry about where to get our daily needs or what might happen to us in the future. And these worries often ruin our day. However, these religious quotes remind us to keep calm, let go, and let God. We can enjoy every hour of each day because we have God. We can take things slow and appreciate every moment because we know that He is in control. Whenever we encounter problems, let’s hold on to God’s promises. We must continue to move forward and cherish every step of our spiritual walk. 

The Power of Prayer

• “Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows; it empties today of its strength.” – Corrie Ten Boom
• “The Christian life is not a constant high. I have my moments of deep discouragement. I have to go to God in prayer with tears in my eyes, and say, ‘O God, forgive me,’ or ‘Help me.’” – Billy Graham 

Having worries and fears are inevitable. Yet, spending our day worrying about tomorrow will not help us either. It will only drain our energy and make us weak. Every time we feel discouraged or hopeless, may we continue to find strength, security, and comfort in the presence of God. He wants us to surrender all the things that bother us at his feet. Indeed, prayer is one of the most powerful things that we can do as we start our day. 

• “God’s work done in God’s way will never lack God’s supplies.” – Hudson Taylor
• “Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.” – St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta
• “The will of God will not take us where the grace of God cannot sustain us.” – Billy Graham

These religious quotes remind us that it is God who sustains us. He is a great provider. He knows what we need even before we ask for it. Yet, why do we still pray if he already knew our requests? First, prayer allows us to understand God’s character. Second, it helps us see his faithfulness and goodness in our lives. And third, prayer helps us trust and surrender everything to Him. As humans, we are fragile, thus, the more that we should hold on to God. Whatever situations we are in, his grace will sustain us.

Religious Quotes to Remember As Christians 

As Christians, how do we live our lives? Are we giving God the honor and glory he deserves?

Once we surrender our lives and accept Jesus as our Lord, we must live a life according to God’s purpose. We must allow Him to transform us so that we may become Christ-like. God set us apart from this fallen world. Hence, we must be careful with our thoughts and actions. But, how can we do that? The answer is, through the Bible. As Christians, we should build our foundation in God’s words and promises.

Here are some religious quotes we can memorize and apply to our lives.

• “Our greatest fear should not be of failure but of succeeding at things in life that don’t really matter.” – Francis Chan
• “He who lays up treasures on earth spends his life backing away from his treasures. To him, death is a loss. He who lays up treasures in heaven looks forward to eternity; he’s moving daily toward his treasures. To him, death is gain.” – Randy Alcorn
• “If you believe in a God who controls the big things, you have to believe in a God who controls the little things. It is we, of course, to whom things look ‘little’ or ‘big’.” – Elisabeth Elliot
• “The world offers you comfort, but you were not made for comfort. You were made for greatness.” – Pope Benedict XVI 

One of the remarkable religious quotes from Pope Benedict XVI states that there are times in which it is hard to be a Christian. It is tempting to give in to the comfort the world offers, yet this is also where sin starts. When we live for God, even though it’s a bumpy journey, He can turn everything to greatness. 

Motivational Religious Quotes to Drive Us Spiritually 

• “Christ literally walked in our shoes.”  – Tim Keller
• “We can see hope in the midst of hopelessness. We can see peace in the midst of chaos. We have hope that the world does not have. We can see clearly that all things work together for the good of them that love Him and are called according to His purpose.” – Priscilla Shirer
• “Pain and suffering have come into your life, but remember the pain, sorrow, suffering are but the kiss of Jesus — a sign that you have come so close to Him that He can kiss you.” – St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta
• “Faith is to believe what you do not see. The reward of faith is to see what you believe.” – St. Augustine of Hippo 

May these little collections of religious quotes help us be reminded of God’s goodness and greatness. He is powerful and all-knowing, but our God is relational too. He understands us and the difficulties we go through. So, what’s stopping us from surrendering our entire life to him?

Amidst the chaos this world might bring, we will continue to find serenity in God. Despite pain and suffering, let’s continue to trust him, so we can find strength and hope. The difficulties we might face along the way can become a great way for us to see God’s love and grace. Hence, we shouldn’t lose hope, but continue to strengthen our relationship with him. Also, with God, may we become the light for those who are in darkness.

Share these lessons so we may become a living testimony of God’s love and greatness.

30 Amazing Faith Quotes: Inspiration to Trust in God

Be inspired by these amazing quotes about faith to trust in God through difficult times. May these powerful faith quotes encourage you to "cast your cares upon the Lord" and live with hope.

Faith is the hope of things unseen. Having faith means believing in the Word of God and His love for us. Here we have collected 30 of our favorite quotes and Bible verses about faith to encourage you in moments of despair or uncertainty. Often the strong faith of others can inspire us to overcome our doubt and fully put our trust in God.

What Does the Bible Say about Faith?

Since faith plays a paramount part in our Christian walk, we can imagine that Scripture has a lot to say about faith. Let's take a look at a few of these verses below.

Hebrews 11:1 :  "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen."

Faith comes from assurance. We don't just believe blindly. We have evidence of how God has moved in the past, and with this knowledge, we can confidently know he will come through for us in the future.

1 Thessalonians 5:11 : "Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing."

Faith also requires an encouraging element. We know that our brothers and sisters may doubt from time to time, as we have. During such moments, we help lift one another up and remind them of God's good promises.

Romans 12:12 :  "Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer."

The Bible does not say that we will avoid sorrow or trials. But it does say those won't last forever. We know that in our darkest moments, God will not abandon us. And he will turn everything right in the end.

Tips for More Faith in Your Life

Faith is a powerful tool that can help us navigate through the ups and downs of life. It provides us with strength, resilience, and hope, even in the most challenging times.

But how do we cultivate more faith in our lives? Here are some helpful tips:

• Read Inspirational Texts: Dive into the teachings of various spiritual leaders or religious texts. Scriptures such as the Bible, Quran, or the Bhagavad Gita offer wisdom that can help strengthen your faith. Books like "The Power of Positive Thinking" by Norman Vincent Peale can also inspire faith.
• Pray or Meditate Daily: Regular prayer or meditation can help you connect with a higher power, whatever you perceive that to be. This connection can deepen your faith and create a sense of peace in your life.
• Surround Yourself with Positive People: Being around people who are positive and have strong faith can help bolster your own. Their energy and outlook can be contagious, giving you the boost of faith you might need.
• Help Others: Acts of kindness and service can affirm our faith in humanity and the goodness in the world. Volunteering, helping a neighbor, or doing something kind for a stranger can strengthen your faith.
• Spend Time in Nature: Nature has a way of reminding us of the beauty and wonder of the universe. Taking a walk in the park, watching a sunset, or simply sitting in a garden can help increase your faith.
• Practice Gratitude: Keeping a gratitude journal or simply taking a few moments each day to reflect on your blessings can strengthen your faith. Gratitude can shift your focus from what’s wrong in your life to what’s right, fostering faith in the process.
• Join a Faith Community: Being part of a community that shares your beliefs can be comforting and affirming. It can provide you with support and encouragement to deepen your faith.
• Trust the Journey: Life is full of ups and downs, but having faith means trusting that there is a purpose to our journey. Even when times are tough, have faith that things will get better.

Faith is the key to a happy and fulfilling life.

You can be rich and talented, but if you don’t have faith in yourself, in the beauty of life, every day will feel like a struggle.

So how to develop faith? If you don’t believe in God, tune into your heart and see how life has surprised you before with gifts you hadn’t expected. And if you believe in God, study your religious text and see how it resonates with you.

Express love towards people more often and forgive and forget the hatred of the past. Once you open your heart to faith, you’ll understand its true meaning.

Bible Verses About Journey

What does the bible say about journey.

Have you recently trusted in Christ alone for salvation? Now it’s time to start your journey. Your Christian journey will not be easy, but God will give you strength to press on daily and overcome any situation. God promises to work in your life until the end to make you more like Christ. The Christian life is like a huge adventure with Christ.

You might have to take a few pit stops, you might get a flat tire here and there, you might go through a few thunderstorms , but though all your experiences, fruit is being built. You are becoming stronger, and your faith and reliance in Christ is growing.

God will take out bad habits and sin from our life. God has given us various things to help us on our journey such as prayer. We must spend time with the Lord daily . We are to have an intimate relationship with God. We are given the Bible to help us walk uprightly.

Scripture will help us connect and focus on the Lord. It will protect us from many different situations in life and give us daily wisdom. God has given believers the Holy Spirit to help us on our walk of faith. He will guide us in the right direction.

He will show us what to do. He will convict us when we’re going the wrong way. He will show us things in our lives that are holding us back and more.

We can also pray to the Spirit for help, peace, and comfort in times of trouble. We might be in the world, but we are not to follow the worlds desires. Allow your journey to glorify God.

Christian quotes about journey

You will have to go through many trials and different obstacles.

Inspirational Words of Wisdom

79 Faith Quotes

Let these quotes about faith fill you with strength and inspire you to believe more deeply. Our faith encourages us, gives us strength, helps us in hard times and gives us hope (perhaps when things seem hopeless). My favorite definition of faith comes from the Bible, Hebrews 11:1: “Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see.” Remember that not everything that is true is scientifically measurable. Faith, in things we cannot see, isn’t foolish; it’s where we find truth and meaning. Love is real. Good and evil are real. We believe and have faith because there are things we know to be true, that we cannot prove. We just know. Be blessed by these Faith Quotes; I hope they help you on our journey of life and help you to trust and believe!

Walking with God: Unveiling Verses about Spiritual Journey

The divine path: exploring the journey of faith.

The journey of faith is a profound and transformative experience that takes us on a path of self-discovery and spiritual growth. It is a journey where we embark on a quest to understand our purpose, seek enlightenment, and connect with the divine.

As we navigate the twists and turns of this divine path, we encounter moments of doubt and uncertainty, but also moments of profound peace and joy. This journey calls us to step outside of our comfort zones, to challenge our preconceived notions and beliefs, and to fully surrender ourselves to a higher power. It is a journey of exploration, where we delve into the depths of our souls and open our hearts to receive divine guidance and wisdom. Along this path, we may stumble and fall, but the beauty lies in the fact that we have the opportunity to get back up, learn from our mistakes, and continue on this journey of faith, stronger and wiser than before.

Finding Strength in Scripture: Nurturing Your Spiritual Walk

Scripture holds immense power in nurturing and strengthening our spiritual walk. As we immerse ourselves in the pages of the Bible, we encounter timeless wisdom that guides, comforts, and encourages us. Each verse, each story, and each word has the potential to transform our hearts and minds, providing us with the strength we need to navigate the challenges of life.

When we make a habit of reading and studying Scripture, we open ourselves up to the divine revelation that unfolds within its pages. The words of the Bible are not mere ink on paper; they are living and active, breathing life into our souls. As we meditate on these sacred writings, we tap into a source of divine guidance and wisdom that surpasses our limited human understanding. Through the power of Scripture, we find strength and solace, uncovering truths that ignite our faith and lead us closer to God. • Scripture provides timeless wisdom that guides, comforts, and encourages us • Each verse, story, and word has the potential to transform our hearts and minds • Reading and studying Scripture opens us up to divine revelation • The words of the Bible are living and active, breathing life into our souls • Meditating on sacred writings taps into a source of divine guidance and wisdom • Scripture helps us find strength and solace in times of need • Uncovering truths in Scripture ignites our faith and brings us closer to God.

Embracing God’s Guidance: Seeking His Will in Your Journey

Human life is often filled with choices and decisions that shape our paths and determine our destinies. In the midst of this journey, embracing God’s guidance becomes paramount as we seek His will in every step we take. The process of seeking God’s will involves a deep surrender of our own desires and a humble submission to His perfect plan for our lives. It is a journey of faith, one that requires patience and trust, knowing that God’s wisdom far exceeds our own.

When we embrace God’s guidance, we acknowledge that He holds the ultimate blueprint for our lives. It requires us to align our hearts and minds with His purpose, allowing His voice to direct our steps. Seeking His will means being attentive to His leading through prayer, Scripture, and the prompting of the Holy Spirit. It is a continual process of seeking divine wisdom and discernment in the choices we make, from the big decisions that shape the course of our lives to the small ones that shape our character. Embracing God’s guidance is an act of faith that transforms our perspective and redirects our path, leading us to experience the beauty and fulfillment of walking in His will.

Overcoming Obstacles: Trusting God in Difficult Times

When faced with difficult times, it is common to feel overwhelmed and uncertain. However, by placing our trust in God, we can find the strength and resilience to overcome any obstacle that comes our way. Trusting in His wisdom and guidance allows us to navigate through the challenges of life with a sense of peace and assurance.

One important aspect of trusting God in difficult times is maintaining a steadfast faith. Rather than giving in to doubt and fear, we can choose to hold on to the belief that God is with us every step of the way. This faith enables us to see beyond our current circumstances and find hope in His promises. By leaning on His strength, we can persevere through the toughest of times, knowing that He is working all things together for our good.

Cultivating a Heart of Worship: Drawing Closer to God

Cultivating a heart of worship is a transformative journey that deepens our connection with God. It is not limited to singing hymns or attending church services, but rather encompasses a lifestyle of reverence and surrender. In the process of drawing closer to God, our focus shifts from ourselves towards Him, and we become fully aware of His awesomeness and sovereignty. By intentionally setting apart time for personal devotion and reflection, we create a sacred space where we can commune with the Divine. It is in these intentional moments that we encounter God’s presence, experiencing His love, peace, and guidance in profound ways.

Worship is not solely about singing and praising. It is an attitude of the heart that permeates every aspect of our lives. As we cultivate a heart of worship, we learn to align our thoughts, desires, and actions with God’s will. Our daily routines, relationships, and even mundane tasks become opportunities to honor and glorify Him. We find joy and fulfillment in serving others and seeking ways to bring God’s kingdom values to the world around us. Through worship, we discover a deeper sense of purpose and meaning in our lives, as we surrender ourselves to God’s plans and invite His transformative power to work in and through us.

The Power of Prayer: Deepening Your Connection with the Divine

Prayer is a powerful practice that allows us to deepen our connection with the divine. It is a sacred conversation between ourselves and God, where we can pour out our hearts, seek guidance, and find solace in times of need. Through prayer, we are able to express our gratitude, ask for forgiveness, and surrender our worries and fears to a higher power. It is a way for us to communicate with God and invite His presence into our lives.

When we engage in prayer, it is important to approach it with sincerity and humility. It is not just a mundane task, but a spiritual discipline that can transform our lives. By setting aside time to connect with God through prayer, we are opening ourselves up to His guidance, love, and grace. It is in this sacred space that we can find comfort, peace, and clarity amidst the chaos of life. Through the power of prayer, we are able to align ourselves with God’s will and experience a deep sense of connection with the divine.

Living a Life of Purpose: Discovering Your Calling in Christ

Living a life of purpose is a deeply fulfilling and meaningful endeavor for many individuals. It involves discovering one’s calling in Christ and aligning one’s actions and decisions with God’s will. When we find our calling, we experience a sense of direction, fulfillment, and joy that can only come from a divine source.

Discovering our calling in Christ requires us to listen attentively to God’s voice and seek His guidance. It often involves a process of self-reflection, prayer, and surrendering to God’s plan. As we delve deeper into our relationship with Christ, we begin to understand our unique gifts, talents, and passions that can be used to serve others and bring glory to God. When we live in alignment with our calling, we live with a sense of urgency to fulfill the purpose for which we were created, making a positive impact on the world around us.

Building Spiritual Resilience: Facing Challenges with Faith

Facing challenges is an inevitable part of life, and building spiritual resilience is a crucial aspect of navigating through these difficult times. When we encounter obstacles, it can be tempting to lose faith and become consumed by fear and doubt. However, by anchoring ourselves in our faith, we can cultivate the strength and perseverance needed to overcome these challenges.

Building spiritual resilience requires cultivating a deep trust in God’s plan and his unwavering presence in our lives. It is about recognizing that although trials may shake us, they do not define us. Instead, they serve as opportunities for growth and for deepening our connection with God. By leaning on our faith during times of adversity, we can tap into a wellspring of hope and find solace knowing that we are not alone in our struggles. This resilience empowers us to face challenges head-on, confident in knowing that God is guiding us every step of the way.

Growing in Spiritual Maturity: Nurturing Your Relationship with God

As we journey through life, it is natural for our relationship with God to evolve and deepen over time. Growing in spiritual maturity requires intentional effort and a desire to nurture our connection with the divine. One way to do this is by spending time in prayer and meditation, allowing ourselves to become more attuned to God’s presence and guidance in our lives. Through regular and sincere communication with the divine, we can develop a deeper understanding of His will and align our actions with His purpose.

Another vital aspect of nurturing our relationship with God is through the study and contemplation of scripture. The Bible serves as a roadmap for our spiritual growth, offering timeless wisdom and guidance for navigating life’s challenges. By regularly immersing ourselves in the words of scripture, we gain insights and encouragement that can shape and transform our lives. As we allow the truths contained within the pages of the Bible to permeate our hearts and minds, we begin to see the world through a spiritual lens, and our actions align more closely with God’s desires for us.

The Blessings of Walking with God: Experiencing His Presence in Everyday Life

Walking with God and experiencing His presence in everyday life brings an abundance of blessings. It is in these intimate moments of connection with the Divine that we find solace, strength, and guidance. Through this spiritual journey, we discover that God’s presence is not confined to the walls of a church or limited to certain moments in our lives. Instead, it becomes a constant companion that fills every aspect of our being.

One of the blessings of walking with God is the deep sense of peace that surpasses all understanding. In the midst of life’s chaos and uncertainty, we find comfort in knowing that we are not alone. God’s presence brings a calm reassurance, reminding us that He is in control and that His plans for us are good. Through the practice of faith, we develop a trust in His timing and His ways, allowing us to let go of worry and anxiety. As we cultivate this attitude of surrender, we experience the freeing power of God’s peace, which guides and guards our hearts in every situation.

Pope's Quotes: Faith as a journey

Youths surround Pope Francis as he meets with students from Jesuit schools June 7 in Paul VI hall at the Vatican. (CNS photo/Max Rossi, Reuters)

My favorite quotes from Pope Francis:

On June 7, Pope Francis addressed students of Jesuit schools in Italy and Albania. In the general audience hall, looking out at 9,000 students, alumni, parents and teachers, Francis held up his prepared speech and said: I’m supposed to read this to you, but that could be “a tad boring.” Let me give you just the highlights and then take some questions from you, he said.

Accounts of the encounter report that the event's presenters seemed hesitant about the pope's request, saying that no questions had been prepared in advance. Francis waved them away and took 10 unscripted questions from students in the hall.

A teenage boy told the pope that he was trying hard to believe in God and be faithful, but that he often struggled with doubt. "What can you say to help me and others like me?" he asked the pope.

The life of faith is a journey, Francis answered.

“Journeying is an art because if we're always in a hurry, we get tired and don't arrive at our journey's goal,” he said. “If we stop, we don't go forward and we also miss the goal. Journeying is precisely the art of looking toward the horizon, thinking where I want to go but also enduring the fatigue of the journey, which is sometimes difficult. … There are dark days, even days when we fail, even days when we fall … but always think of this: Don't be afraid of failures. Don't be afraid of falling. What matters in the art of journeying isn't not falling but not staying down. Get up right away and continue going forward. This is what's beautiful: This is working every day, this is journeying as humans. But also, it's bad walking alone: It's bad and boring. Walking in community, with friends, with those who love us, that helps us. It helps us to arrive precisely at that goal, that 'there where' we're supposed to arrive.”

6 Stages of the Journey of Faith and Why You Need to Know Yours

I love following trails. The less traversed the better. The woods of North Idaho, the lake trails of Minnesota, the four-wheeler paths of Alaska, and the jungle routes of Northern Thailand are my happy places. If you tell me there’s a path to follow my feet are almost compulsively drawn there.

This hasn’t always been the same source of joy for those who love me as it has been for me. Take that one time in Israel, for example. I was seventeen (and perfectly capable of taking care of myself, thank-you-very-much) when our tour bus stopped in a quiet parking lot. We were at The Gates of Hell. I’m not kidding. This was the physical location where Jesus stood with His disciples when Peter proclaimed that He was the Son of God and Jesus replied, “And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.” ( Matthew 16:18 )

It was a wild declaration in a wild place: a place where a pagan temple once stood and children were sacrificed at the gates of hell. Jesus stomped all over that playground of idolatry with the feet of the Living God. The gates of hell will not prevail… 

Just sit with that thought for a moment.

After being introduced to the significance of the place, I heard our tour guide say, “We’ll gather back on the bus in thirty minutes. There’s a trail over there that leads to a stream and the bathrooms are by the shop in the parking lot.” Now, this is apparently not what everyone else, including my parents, heard. I heard “go explore” while they heard “head for the bus.”

However, there was that trail, and without a second thought, I was off.

A blonde teenager.

At the GATES OF HELL.

Well, we all have those moments when we’re not so smart, right?

I remember it so clearly: the meandering dirt path, the sunlight through the trees, the dancing brooke, the sweet conversation I had with Jesus. I was in my happy place.

I didn’t stay long, trying to be mindful of the time, and as I emerged from the woods onto the open trail, a man approached me. He was walking briskly and looked amused when he saw me. He said something into his radio, turned around, and motioned for me to follow him quickly. 

We jogged back up the path and when the bus came into view he simply pointed.

Everyone was on it. Waiting for me. Praying I hadn’t been kidnapped for ransom. My parents were thrilled that I was fine, and I was mortified.

Who knew a trail could cause so much trouble? I try to be a bit wiser now, but I still maintain that a trail is an invitation that should not be passed up. It’s leading somewhere. Maybe to a waterfall, a mountain top, a camping spot, or a placid lake, but if there’s a trail there it’s usually because people have trod that path before in search of the something that lies beyond the asphalt and concrete.

GROWTH AS A CHRISTIAN

So it is with the Christian life. We are all on a journey to the heart of God. We know it all starts with the exchange of Christ’s life for our own and it ends in the glorious eternity of dwelling with God in heaven, but what of the in-between? This messy, mucky, mixed-up middle ground? Is there sense or order to our development as Christ-followers?

The Bible speaks often of growth and development. As believers we move from milk to meat ( Hebrews 5:13-14 ), maturing from receivers of simple truths to teachers of the Word, and Paul regularly prays for the church to grow in wisdom and understanding so they (we) can bear fruit ( Colossians 1:3-11 ). Even the meta-story across Scripture of God’s plan and process through Creation, Fall, and Redemption paints the idea of movement through stages.

Our great Creator loves order. I think He even loves a good story with a beginning, middle, and end, and all the plot twists in between.

And it just makes so much sense to me as I see countless parallels between our lives lived in the body and our lives lived in the spirit. Parenting would be chaotic at best if we couldn’t foresee the predictable stages our children would progress through: infants to toddlers to children to adolescents to young adults. Can you imagine working on potty training if you had no hope that it was only for a season?

The Christian life would be uncertain at best if we had no hope of future glory and the sanctification process along the way. We need markers of development to assure us that we are making progress and that we are indeed on the same path of faith our spiritual role-models walked. Especially when we hit that really gnarly bump in the middle (more on that in a bit).

While what I’m about to present to you isn’t specific biblical truth, I do believe it is spiritual wisdom. Saints throughout the ages have looked for ways to understand the journey of faith, including John of the Cross and Bernard of Clairvaux. More recently The Critical Journey: Stages in the Life of Faith by Janet Hagberg and Robert Guelich has provided helpful commentary on the predictable path we find ourselves on as we walk toward Christ-likeness.

Here is Janet’s comprehensive description and recent podcast if you want to dig deeper.

For our purposes, I’ve simplified their model a bit. And I really felt that it needed a map, of sorts. So here it is, in the best stick-figure glory I could muster:

As with any model, it’s not perfect, and we don’t always fit neatly into the categories, but much like how personality profiles can help us understand ourselves and operate with greater understanding toward others, this spiritual-life profile can help us navigate the work of God in our lives and move forward with greater trust and hope.

STAGE ONE: THE SEARCH FOR GOD

We recognize our need for a savior and accept His invitation to new life. This is the point of belief, of being born-again.

STAGE TWO: THE LIFE OF DISCIPLESHIP

We are hungry to learn everything we can about God and what His truth means for our lives. We want to belong and will search for a community of faith where we are fed from the Word.

STAGE THREE: THE PRODUCTIVE LIFE

We want to give back to the God who gave everything for us. We start looking for ways to share our faith and do good deeds. We ask if we have a personal calling from the Lord and take a step of faith to pursue it (i.e. taking a role in the church, starting a home Bible study, helping a neighbor in need, focusing your craft more on spiritual matters, becoming a pastor or missionary, viewing parenting as discipleship).

STAGE FOUR: THE WALL AND THE WILDERNESS

Often triggered by some form of suffering, we are suddenly made aware that what we are doing for God isn’t working anymore. We might feel burnt out from all our activity in the previous stage or we might be frustrated that we’re not seeing transformation in our own lives or the lives of those we are trying to reach. We often revert to more learning to become better equipped or redouble our efforts of service to hopefully see results. But eventually, we still end up at the wall with the choice to keep on looping backwards in the journey or to surrender to a major work of the Spirit in our lives.

STAGE FIVE: THE JOURNEY INWARD

We accept that deep change is necessary and we struggle through a season of deconstruction as God works with us to expose idols and egos and His heart in pursuit of our own. We begin to reconstruct our relationship with God based on intimacy, and a new sense of self-realization leads to more profound God-realization.

STAGE SIX: THE JOURNEY UPWARD AND OUTWARD

We learn to live out the greatest commandment: Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind; and from that life of God-love the second commandment flows: Love your neighbor as yourself. ( Matthew 22:37-39 ) We may still revisit times of testing and refining in the wilderness, but hope is secure and our hearts are fully surrendered.

WHERE ARE YOU ON THE JOURNEY?

Can you see your spiritual life at one of the points on this map? The first time it was introduced to me at a Spiritual Director’s training, I felt incredibly relieved, perhaps like a puberty-stricken girl who was finally told that armpit hair was normal. I talked about it for days to anyone that would listen. Did you know that we have stages of spiritual development just like physical development? Have you ever heard that hitting the wall is a normal and even necessary part of Christian growth? My own story suddenly makes so much sense now! Oh yeah, I totally geek out over stuff like that. 

But even if you don’t get as excited about it as I was, I hope that you find it encouraging to know that we are all on this journey together . It’s a beautiful path, and not as dark or mysterious as you once thought. No, it’s not going to be easy, but the best things rarely are. 

So keep pressing on, dear one. Further up. Further in.

Try writing down the bullet points of your own faith journey. Where do they fall on this faith map? What is God saying to you about the stage you are in right now?

My own journey through the wilderness and how I made it over the wall is recorded in my book, Colliding with the Call: When Following God Takes You to the Wilderness .

The “map” of the journey of faith is simply profound and I so appreciate the sharing of your own experience to illustrate the concepts. As usual, your creativity and masterful articulation impress the reader, yet you are careful to direct our attention to Jesus as the Center and Focus of our lives and journeys.

Thank you, Debi. I’m humbled by such gracious words. As long as I keep pointing people to Jesus I’m doing okay!

This comment probably won’t add anything of spiritual virtue to your well written article, but it might help your readers to understand the depth of worry for those of us that were on the bus worried sick about that beautiful, young blond girl that had gone missing when we were visiting “The Gates of Hell”. Our visit to Israel was in the fall of 2000 and the Oslo Accord had just been broken. The President of the U.S. put out a travel advisory not to travel to Israel. My parents (Corella’s grandparents) pleaded with us to cancel our plans to go to Israel. Obviously we did not heed their advise and went anyway. So when Corella, who had always been very punctual and methodical about following instructions did not return to the bus on time, it was not much of a leap to jump to the worst conclusion. Praise God that the “lost” was found and “The Gates of Hell” did not prevail!!!

I love you, Mom. Thanks for taking me to Israel and for praying over me then as you still do now!

30 Muharram Quotes and Wishes to Share for the Islamic New Year

Use these greetings and messages for friends, colleagues, and loved ones during the sacred month.

Why is Muharram so special?

How do people observe muharram, muharram quotes, wishes, and messages.

Muharram marks the beginning of the Islamic New Year, a time of reflection and renewal for many Muslims around the world. As the first month of the Islamic lunar calendar, Muharram holds deep significance, not only heralding a new year but also standing as one of the four sacred months in Islam. The term “Muharram” itself translates to “that which is sacred,” underscoring its spiritual importance. Each year, the month shifts about ten days earlier on the Gregorian calendar, moving through different seasons.

Observance of Muharram varies among Muslims. Traditionally, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) fasted on the 10th day, known as Ashura , to commemorate the parting of the Red Sea for Prophet Moses (peace be upon him). Although this fast became optional after Ramadan was mandated, many Muslims still observe it. For Shia Muslims, Muharram is also a period of mourning, remembering the massacre of Karbala and the martyrdom of Prophet Muhammad’s grandson, Imam Hussein.

To honor this sacred month and the Islamic New Year, we have compiled a collection of heartfelt Muharram quotes. These expressions capture the essence of faith, hope, and renewal, offering blessings and well-wishes as the Islamic community embarks on a new spiritual journey. 

You can learn more about Islamic months in our explainers on everything to know about Ramadan and the date of Eid al-Adha .

What is Muharram?

Muharram is the first Islamic month on the 12-month Islamic lunar calendar. Its date changes every year on the solar Gregorian calendar. It goes back about 10 days earlier than it took place the year before on the solar calendar. This means that it shifts throughout seasons as well.

Muharram is special because it is a sacred month on the Islamic calendar. Sacred months mean that fighting is prohibited in them. It is also the first month on the Islamic calendar, kicking off the new Hijri year. There are four sacred months in an Islamic year. This is noted in the Quran :

“God decrees that there are twelve months- ordained in God’s Book on the Day when He created the heavens and earth - four months of which are sacred: this is the correct calculation.” 9:36 

The four sacred months are Muharram, Rajab, Dhul Qaddah, and Dhul Hijjah . Muharram is the first month of the Islamic calendar, Rajab is the third month, Dhul Qaddah is the eleventh month and Dhul Hijjah is the twelfth and final month. Dhul Hijjah is the month in which Eid al-Adha takes place. Ramadan is a popular holy month, but it is not a sacred month. 

Before it was decreed in the Quran to fast the month of Ramadan, Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, used to fast on the 10th day of Muharram. This day is called Ashura (literally translated to mean 10.) It is believed that on this day God split the sea for Prophet Moses, peace be upon him, to save him and his Israelite people from Pharoah and his army.

After Ramadan became obligatory, Ashura became an optional fast. Today, some practicing Muslims around the world might observe Muharram with an optional fast on the 10th day. In addition, for Shia Muslims, Muharram is a time of mourning. The grandson of Prophet Muhammad was martyred in Muharram during a massacre in Karbala, Iraq. This event is commemorated with great emphasis in Shia congregations. 

For family members, friends, co-workers, or loved ones celebrating Muharram, here are Muharram 2024 wishes and messages to share in honor of the Islamic New Year:

• Wishing you a blessed Islamic year!
• May this Islamic year find you in the best of faith and health.

Dune: Part Two proved to be a powerful follow-up to 2021's Dune, receiving unanimous acclaim and delivering memorable quotes. Many factors make the newest installment in the Dune franchise a success. Great actors, a solid script that adapts the original work, and incredible set pieces, just to name a few. In addition, Dune: Part Two is full of iconic, memorable, and meaningful lines delivered with fierce determination.

Dune: Part Two is a story about hardship, classism, colonization, and prophecy. Although the franchise is set in a science fiction reality separate from the real world, it reflects many conflicts seen in real life. Some quotes from the film stick with the audience long after the credits roll because words hold tremendous power on and off the big screen.

Updated on June 24, 2024, by Arthur Goyaz: Dune: Part Two brings the war for Arrakis to a boiling point, and the best characters step up to deliver their most memorable lines. Heartfelt confessions and war speeches make up the film's greatest quotes, and this list was updated to add a few more of them.

15 "I Will Lead You To Paradise!"

"I am Paul Muad'Dib Atreides, Duke of Arrakis. The Hand of God be my witness, I am the Voice from the Outer World! I will lead you to paradise!"

Dune: Part Two's Biggest Changes From Frank's Herbert Novel

Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part Two adapts the rest of Frank Herbert's novel, but Paul Atreides' revolution alongside the Fremen pans out differently.

Although Dune follows all the steps of a classic hero's journey story, there's nothing conventional about the figure of Paul Atreides as a hero. The turning point in Dune: Part Two is the moment that Paul addresses the southern Fremen war council after drinking the Water of Life. He's no longer a leader who speaks what his people want to hear, but rather what has to be said.

In the face of a rough path ahead -- the only narrow possibility that can possibly bring Paul and the Fremen to victory, Paul proclaims his authority in a spine-chilling speech. Alternating between his language and that of the Fremen, he reminds his followers where he's been and who he is. The power of this quote foreshadows an intense moment later in Dune: Part Two , when Paul hears of the disloyalty of the other Houses and instructs Stilgar to lead them to paradise. For the Fremen, paradise is the salvation they aim to achieve. For their enemies, paradise equals their doom.

14 "You Wouldn't Be the First Relative I've Killed."

- Feyd-Rautha

"You wouldn't be the first relative I've killed."

Austin Butler's terrifying performance as Feyd-Rautha makes for a vicious, unforgiving villain whose thrill of living revolves around taking this privilege from others. In the face of House Harkonnen's downfall, the Emperor's humiliation, and a destructive retaliation from the enemy, Feyd doesn't look vaguely concerned with his future, for it now lies on the sharp blade of his knife. And killing is what he does best.

In Dune: Part Two 's fateful face-off between Feyd and Paul, the latter addresses his opponent as his cousin . With his standard indifference, Feyd shows no surprise and reveals that killing another relative will not affect him in the slightest. This great Dune: Part Two quote perfectly illustrates Harkonnen's bleak attributes, showing that not even blood of their own can stop their greed for victory and power.

13 "This Prophecy is How They Enslave Us!"

"This prophecy is how they enslave us!"

Dune: Part Two often feels like a major improvement of something that was already great because of Chani's character. Absent for most of the first film, Zendaya steals the show for herself as a Fremen warrior in the sequel. She becomes Paul's love interest but doesn't fall into the stigmas of a romantic side character. Soon, it becomes clear to both Paul and the audience that Chani isn't there to support her soulmate until the end -- she's there to defy him.

Dune 's greatest message is how, no matter how far in the future or in the past, humanity will always find means to impose control on themselves. Either through the power of faith, the opposing sides seek dominance over each other. "This prophecy is how they enslave us!", says Chani at some point. She's one of the first characters to realize that Paul might not be as different from his enemies as she initially thought he was. She's quick to realize that a prophecy is the best weapon to seize control of the Fremen -- a more subtle way of taking away their freedom in a place that is rightfully theirs.

12 "May Thy Knife Chip and Shatter."

- paul & feyd.

"May thy knife chip and shatter."

One of the best Dune: Part Two 's quotes is a traditional Fremen saying that first appeared in Dune 's first part, when the fate of Paul and his mother was about to be defined by hand-to-hand combat between Paul and Jamis. The fateful words are uttered again in Dune: Part Two as Paul and Feyd prepare themselves for a duel that will dictate the future of the Empire.

Paul welcomes his opponent to battle with "May Thy Knife Chip and Shatter." Feyd, however, isn't slightly intimidated by the sentence, but doesn't receive it with mockery either. He embraces it, joining Paul in Fremen tradition because, in Harkonnen's perception, the only moment to be virtuous is when blood is about to be shed. This is the Dune: Part Two quote that sums up the whole movie: everything comes down to the words Paul and Feyd say to each other, and the duel that follows it.

11 "You'll Now Learn the Truth About Our Family. And It Will Hurt You To the Core."

"You are not prepared for what is to come. You'll now learn the truth about our family. And it will hurt you to the core."

The presence of Alia Atreides, Paul's younger sister, is heavily felt throughout Dune: Part Two even though the character isn't physically there. Her mind awakens after Jessica drinks the Water of Life, unleashing a mysterious spiritual influence on her mother and her brother. Anya Taylor-Joy brings Alia to life in a mesmerizing dream sequence, introducing Paul to a harrowing truth that has the power of saving the universe but, simultaneously, corrupting his soul forever.

Alia's prophetic words are sharp, straightforward, and haunting. They are filled with unknown power yet to be measured, which makes Taylor-Joy's brief appearance all the more impactful. The memorable Dune: Part Two quote marks a turning point in Paul's journey while hinting at Alia's importance in the future of the universe. Hopefully, fans will get to see more of Alia Atreides in Dune: Messiah when the movie finally hits the big screen.

10 “It’s Not a Prophecy, It’s A Story.”

“It’s not a prophecy, it’s a story.”

Dune: Part Two's Explosive Ending, Explained

Dune: Part Two continues the war-filled journey of Paul Atreides and the Fremen against the villainous House Harkonnen, leading to a surprise ending.

One of the most important parts of Dune is the prophecy of the Lisan al Gaib. The Lisan al Gaib is said to be a messiah from a foreign land who will lead the Fremen against their oppressors. This prophecy causes a large divide between the Fremen. Some religious fanatics believe in the prophecy wholeheartedly, and they convince themselves that Paul is the Lisan al Gaib. Others, like Chani, believe the prophecy is another form of oppression designed to keep the Fremen docile and waiting for help that may never come.

Early in the film, Paul seems to be on Chani's side. Many people insist that the prophecy is real and that Paul is the messiah they've been waiting for . Paul shoots this down multiple times. He even tells his mother that the prophecy isn't real. Paul says, "It’s not a prophecy, it’s a story." This puts the idea of prophecy into perspective -- prophecy is only as powerful as the belief in it. Otherwise, it crumbles into fantasy.

9 “As Long As I Breathe.”

“As long as I breathe.”

Throughout Dune and Dune: Part Two , audiences witness a growing relationship between Paul and Chani. It's clear that even though these two individuals are from different worlds, they love one another deeply. Paul puts his trust in Chani to help him navigate the ways of the desert and Chani stands up for him when the other Fremen mock or doubt him. Chani promises Paul that as long as he never loses who he is, he'll never lose her.

Paul confesses his love to Chani several times in Dune: Part Two . He always ends his confession with, "As long as I breathe." On its own, this is a powerful declaration of love, the type of declaration that people only dream of hearing. By the end of the film, however, it takes a dark turn. Paul still tells her that he will love her for as long as he breathes, but he puts his position of power above his love for Chani. Loving Chani isn't enough for him. In one breath, he says he loves her, and in the next, he's asking for Princess Irulan's hand in marriage. This quote proves that love is a double-edged blade because it can be something to cherish, or it can be used as a weapon.

8 “Never Give Your Water Away, Not Even For the Dead.”

“Never give your water away, not even for the dead.”

At the beginning of Dune: Part Two , Stilgar shows Lady Jessica the sacred water of his people. He tells her that the water is so important to them that even a person dying of dehydration wouldn't dare drink from the pool. The water is more than just symbolic, though. It possesses great power, and it's also where their dead come to reside. Jessica sheds a tear for all the lost souls swirling around in those waters. When Stilgar sees this, he gives Jessica a warning.

Stilgar says, "Never give your water away, not even for the dead." This quote helps bring the world state into perspective for the audience. Water is such a precious resource to the Fremen that even shedding tears is frowned upon. For them, water is more important than money, food, or even shelter. It is something to be guarded, protected, and rationed carefully. Due to this, even the simple act of crying holds more weight than just expressing emotion.

7 “You Underestimate the Power of Faith.”

- princess irulan.

“You underestimate the power of faith.”

Princess Irulan is the daughter of Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV. During a scene where she discusses what's happening in Arrakis with her father, the Emperor foolishly disregards Irulan's warning. Shaddam IV doesn't seem to think the prophecy or the potential of the Lisan al Gaib are things that they should be worried about. As far as he's concerned, it's simple fiction, something for religious fanatics to obsess over and nothing more.

During this conversation, Irulan says, "You underestimate the power of faith." This is a warning to her father. Just because they don't believe in something doesn't mean that it won't cause trouble for them down the line. Faith is a powerful motivator. As long as people have something to believe in, they will keep going, keep fighting, and keep getting back up. To some, faith is everything. Princess Irulan turns out to be correct because the people's faith in Paul ultimately becomes the Emperor's downfall .

6 “Our Resources Are Limited, Fear is All We Have.”

“Our resources are limited, fear is all we have.”

It's hard to say that the Fremen have ever had an easy life in the deserts of Arrakis. Due to the harsh climate and the giant Sandworms that hide in the sands , the Fremen have learned to survive in some of the harshest conditions. That doesn't even begin to touch on the fact that the Fremen live under constant oppression. Some Fremen, like Stilgar, believe in the prophecy that a messiah will come to liberate them. Others, like Chani, believe that if they want their freedom, they need to take it for themselves.

Paul falls into the role of the messiah. At first, he rejects this position, but throughout the film, he begins embracing the responsibility and the power that comes with it. He goes from outsider to leader and many Fremen turn to him for advice, orders, or words of encouragement. At one point, Paul mutters, "Our resources are limited, fear is all we have." This seems like a grim thing to say, but in actuality, he's right. Sometimes, fear is the only motivation that can push people to success. Fear of loss, fear of death, and fear of harm are powerful reminders that sometimes, there is no other choice but to confront the problem.

5 "It’s A Figure of Speech..."

"It’s a figure of speech..."

Dune: Part Two's Biggest Plot Holes and Burning Questions

Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part Two continues Paul Atreides' tale of rebellion and revenge against House Harkonnen, but not all threads are neatly tied.

Gurney has a close relationship with House Atreides. He was loyal to the family before Paul was born, but after his birth, Gurney became one of Paul's teachers. Gurney was instrumental in teaching Paul how to handle himself in a fight. He taught Paul war tactics and hand-to-hand combat. Without him, Paul wouldn't be half the capable warrior that he is in Dune and Dune: Part Two . He also plays an instrumental role in Part Two . When Paul runs into him during a Fremen raid on a Spice Smugglers vessel, Gurney and Paul instantly reconnect. Paul vouches for him by calling him family.

Gurney's importance runs much deeper than that, though. He tells Paul of something that can give him and the Fremen the upper hand in the war. He tells Paul that his family's artillery is still intact. Paul believed these resources were lost, but with the hidden weapons and firepower, it could change the tides of the war. When describing the power, Chani and Stilgar cast suspicious sideways glances at him when he says the weapons can blow up the planet. Gurney says, "Enough to blow up the whole planet… It’s a figure of speech, you know what I mean." Not only does this help put into perspective what these weapons can do for the Fremen, but it's also funny. Dune: Part Two is overall a serious film, so having a few moments of comedic relief like this is extremely important.

4 “I Don’t Care What You Believe, I Believe!”

“I don’t care what you believe, I believe!”

Stilgar is the biggest believer in the prophecy and throughout the entire movie, he's trying to prove that Paul is the Lisan al Gaib. Many Fremen, like Chani, are resistant to the belief of a messiah from another world that will come down and liberate them. Others, like Stilgar, need to believe in something to keep going.

The power of this quote piggybacks off the power of Princess Irulan's "You underestimate the power of faith" quote. During a heated debate about the prophecy, Stilgar shouts, "I don't care what you believe, I believe!" Stilgar's faith is unshakable. He is living proof of how much power faith can give someone . He believes so wholeheartedly in Paul that he's willing to sacrifice his own life, so Paul can take his leadership position. Without faith, people like Stilgar wouldn't exist. Without people like Stilgar fighting in hopeless battles, the war is already lost.

3 “You Cannot See the Future Without Seeing the Past.”

- lady jessica, reverend mother.

“You cannot see the future without seeing the past.”

Paul hears his mother, Lady Jessica, whisper, "You cannot see the future without seeing the past." This is an interesting quote because it's not something Jessica says directly to him. Instead, he hears it from his developing abilities in his mother's voice. It could be something Lady Jessica does say, or it could be more than that, but either way, the quote holds a lot of power. In relationship to Dune , it's a bit more literal. To see into the future, Paul needs to be able to see the past too.

Beyond the literal interpretation, though, this quote reflects a common theme that appears in storytelling and real life. Ignoring the past or turning a blind eye to the lessons the past teaches us is a surefire way to make sure people repeat the same mistakes. Without seeing history for the truth it conveys, people can never improve.

2 "We’re Harkonnens. This is How We Will survive. By Being Harkonnens."

"We’re Harkonnens. This is how we will survive. By being Harkonnens."

One of the biggest plot twists in Dune: Part Two is the discovery of Paul and Lady Jessica's blood relation to Vladimir Harkonnen. This comes as a horrific shock to both Paul and Lady Jessica because Dune 's House Harkonnen and House Atreides have been enemies for as long as either of them can remember. House Harkonnen is also the oppressive force colonizing Arrakis for the valuable Spice fields on the planet. To be blunt, the entire Harkonnen family are some of the biggest antagonists of the story.

When Paul realizes that he's related to one of the biggest villains in his life, he has to accept it quickly. He says, "We’re Harkonnens. This is how we will survive. By being Harkonnens." This is a powerful transition statement where Paul doesn't just accept his heritage, he embraces it. If stooping as low as the Harkonnens will win the war, then he's prepared to go as low as he needs to.

1 “I Won’t Be Fighting For Him. I’ll Be Fighting For My People.”

“I won’t be fighting for him. I’ll be fighting for my people.”

Dune: 10 Harsh Realities Of Living On Giedi Prime

The homeworld of House Harkonnen plays an important role in the Dune saga, but it is one of the worst places to live in the Known Universe.

Throughout Dune: Part Two , Chani has to watch Paul go from a good man who promised he didn't care about power to a prophecy-fulfilling messiah. In many ways, Paul betrays Chani's trust because he becomes everything he swore he wouldn't. He also asks to marry another woman right in front of Chani despite claiming he loves her more than anything else in the world. When it comes down to the final battle, Chani agrees to Paul's plan, but she doesn't do it for him.

Chani says, "I won’t be fighting for him. I’ll be fighting for my people." She loves Paul, but she knows she's losing him to the power of corruption. Agreeing to his plans and fighting alongside him has nothing to do with him anymore. She's fighting for the same reason she's always fought: the safety of her people. This is an important distinction for Chani. She never believed in prophecy or the messiah: seeing Paul ascend to that position doesn't change anything for her.

'labyrinth' (1986).

Being a teenager means discovering who you are and what matters to you. The main character Sarah ( Jennifer Connelly ) in Labyrinth goes on her journey of self-realization in an alternate world of magic and goblins. Annoyed that her stepmother always makes her watch her baby stepbrother and the infant's incessant crying, she wishes him away one night and offers him to the goblins. A few minutes later, she is shocked to find that her halfhearted whim has been granted.

Instantly regretting what she has done, she travels to the Goblin City and demands her brother back from Jareth, the Goblin King ( David Bowie ). Though he captivates her under a spell and offers her everything she could desire, she breaks free from his mind control and, in one of the final scenes, asserts that she knows exactly who she is and what she wants by delivering the iconic line " You have no power over me ." As a result of her adventure, she learns to stand up for herself and that she does care for her brother after all.

In Oz she discovers dangers and evil she had never encountered before . She also soon realizes that being separated from her loved ones is not the fate she wants after all.

8 "Second star to the right and straight on 'til morning."

'peter pan' (1953).

When receiving directions, you expect them to be based on positions or landmarks. However, if you are a companion of Peter Pan ( Bobby Driscoll ), you find your heading based on the stars because you can fly. Humans have been trying to get airborne as far back as the Renaissance when Leonardo da Vinci drew plans for a flying machine. And it turns out that all you need is some faith and trust, and a little bit of pixie dust . As the Darling children ( Kathryn Beaumont, Paul Collins, Tommy Luske ) prepare to follow their host to his magical island of Neverland, he gives them the coordinates, "Second star to the right and straight on 'til morning."

Another deep human longing Peter Pan touches on is that of everlasting youth. The quest for the ability to turn back the hands of time is keeping many cosmetic, pharmaceutical, cryogenic, and other corporations gainfully employed. With mermaids, pirates, and the ability to fly, Peter Pan continues to be an enduring gem in the genre of fantasy, and when watching the movie, even but for a moment, audiences get to feel like a kid again.

7 "26 years ago, we all started playing a little game. And now we're going to sit down and finish it. And guess what, it's your turn."

'jumanji' (1995).

Somewhere between horror and fantasy, Jumanji brings a cautious tale for anyone who seeks to leave their world behind. Much like the Wizard of Oz , a young person seeks to run away from home after a confrontation with an adult, only to have an adventure beyond their wildest dreams, which teaches them to appreciate being home. After being trapped in the game Jumanji for 26 years, Alan Parrish ( Robin Williams ) is faced with the terrible realization that the only way to make the adverse consequences of the game stop is that he will have to play. But it wasn't his turn. He had begun to play the game as an adolescent in 1969 with his friend Sarah Whittle ( Bonnie Hunt ), and the game was not completed, so Jumanji demanded that the original game go on .

After some understandable resistance from Sarah to play the game again after being traumatized by Alan's disappearance last time, Alan eventually calms her down and reminds her that everyone's fate depends on her willingness to play. They, along with the two new players, Judy ( Kirsten Dunst ) and Peter ( Bradley Pierce), must all work together if they want to survive the game and restore their reality.

6 "She's your match, Henry."

'ever after: a cinderella story' (1998).

Is there such a thing as one person being meant for another? That is the question Prince Henry ( Dougray Scott ) asks himself and Leonardo da Vinci ( Patrick Godfrey ) in Ever After: A Cinderella Story . Given an ultimatum by his parents, he must find a woman of his choosing to marry before a ball or be wed to the girl they have chosen for him, the Princess of Spain. Henry confides his puzzled and confused thoughts to Leonardo and wonders how he can be sure that he's met the right person, what to do if he somehow misses them, and so on. Leonardo patiently replies that he believes there is such a thing as one person being destined for another, but sometimes you must give fate a hand.

Prince Henry and Leonardo could never have imagined the surprising revelation of who is meant for Henry. When the woman he loves, Danielle ( Drew Barrymore ) is revealed to be a commoner and not nobility rather ungraciously by her wicked stepmother ( Anjelica Huston ) at the ball, Henry, hurt and confused, rejects her and goes to sulk alone. Leonardo seeks him out and confronts him. When Henry tries to claim his bruised and wounded ego as a reason to deny his feelings, Leonardo tells him straight, " She's your match, Henry ." Luckily, Henry eventually realizes this for himself and the movie ends, as it were, happily ever after.

5 "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us."

'the lord of the rings: the fellowship of the ring' (2001).

When ordinary people are put in extraordinary circumstances, it can be a possibility for great things to happen, and it can also be overwhelming. Similar to a diamond being formed by intense pressure, some people, even the most unlikely ones, rise to the occasion when times get tough.

Hobbits are known in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring for being simple, quiet folk who tend to keep to themselves. But when a young hobbit named Frodo Baggins ( Elijah Wood ) is sent on an epic quest fraught with peril, he proves to be a great hero in his own right. However, that doesn't mean he feels heroic all the time. In a touchingly vulnerable scene, Frodo confesses to his mentor, Gandalf ( Ian McKellen), that he wishes he had never been sent on the great journey in the first place. Gandalf comforts Frodo, saying his feelings are understandable and that when times are tough and everything feels insurmountable , "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us."

4 "always.", 'harry potter and the deathly hallows: part 2' (2011).

Professor Severus Snape ( Alan Rickman ) is a complicated character and one that keeps fans of the Harry Potter movies guessing for most of the films. Is he loyal and willing to be trusted? Or is he evil and to be feared? While he picks on Harry Potter ( Daniel Radcliffe ) and seems to generally dislike him, he then takes measures to protect Harry and looks out for his well-being. It is only towards the very end of the series that his true motives are revealed, and it turns out they have nothing to do with Harry. Severus loved Harry's mother, Lily ( Geraldine Somerville ).

Although Lily only ever saw Severus as a friend, he remained devoted to her for the rest of his life. Even after her death, his enduring love for Lily motivated him to watch out for her son while he attended the school where Severus taught, Hogwarts. In a dramatic scene where Professor Dumbledore's ( Michael Gambon ) true intentions for Harry are revealed, Severus projects a doe in a Patronus spell , which was Lily's Patronus. Dumbledore asks him, "After all this time?" To which Severus replies, "Always."

3 "i am no man.", 'the lord of the rings: the return of the king' (2003).

How do you beat an unbeatable foe? The heroes of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King were faced with such a dilemma when the evil Witch-king of Angmar ( Lawrence Makoare ) was unleashed. An undead, powerful enemy, it was said that no mortal man could kill him. Indeed, even the powerful wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellan) seemed ineffective against him.

When all seems lost and the Witch-king is about to have his riding creature devour Theoden ( Bernard Hill ), a soldier appears between him and his victim and commands, "I will kill you if you touch him." After fighting the soldier, the Witch-king reminds them that no man can kill him. Wounded from behind by a Hobbit named Merry ( Dominic Monaghan ), the Witch-king falls to his knees. The soldier takes off their helmet, revealing their identity to be that of Eowyn ( Miranda Otto ), Theoden's niece. She declares triumphantly, " I am no man ," and vanquishes the villain and frees all of Middle Earth from his tyranny.

2 "as you wish.", 'the princess bride' (1987).

There are many different ways to say "I love you," but perhaps none is as memorable as "As you wish." In the movie The Princess Bride , Westley ( Cary Elwes ) is a farmhand who falls in love with his employer's daughter, Buttercup ( Robin Wright ). As he does her bidding day and night, no matter how menial the task, he only replies, "As you wish." As time goes on, Buttercup recognizes his feelings and discovers that she shares them and loves him too.

The phrase gets an important second meaning in the latter half of the film when Buttercup is captured by the Dread Pirate Roberts , and seeing an opportunity to free herself, she pushes him off a cliff, telling him to die. Her captor replies, "As you wish," and she knows instantly that it has been Westley in disguise. An enduring romantic classic, the movie and the quote continue to hold real, personal meaning for many couples who have found their true love.

1 "call my name.", 'the neverending story' (1984).

Stories undoubtedly impact the audience, but does an audience have the ability to impact the story? When young Bastian ( Barret Oliver ) confiscates a book from a local shop, he never intends to literally get caught up in it. As he reads The NeverEnding Story, it begins to become clear that he, as the reader, is inexplicably linked to the drama unfolding, and he plays a key role in determining its fate.

As the whole world of the book (Fantasia) is about to dissolve into nothing, the Empress in the story ( Tami Stronach ) says that to save their world, Bastian must give her a new name. Bastian struggles to believe in magic and that he could use his imagination to affect any positive change, stating, "I have to keep my feet on the ground." As the tension mounts, the Empress pleads directly to him, "Call my name." Moved to action, Bastian runs to a window and calls out the name he has chosen for her, Moon Child. More than simply asking for a fresh moniker, the appeal of the Empress calls to more than just Bastian; it reaches out to all viewers, inviting them to interact with and invest themselves in the stories they observe. To become active participants in the realms of fantasy.
