“If God be our God, He will give us peace in trouble. When there is a storm without, He will make peace within. The world can create trouble in peace, but God can create peace in trouble”–Thomas Watson, quoted in The Timothy Report, www.timothyreport.com,

“You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock”–Isaiah 26:3-4.

“How good it is to have the consciousness that we belong to the Lord and are not our own! There is nothing more precious in the world. It is that which brings the awareness of His continual presence, and the reason is obvious. I must first have the sense of God’s possession of me before I can have the sense of His presence with me. When once His ownership is established, then I dare do nothing in my own interests, for I am His exclusive property”–Watchman Nee, The Normal Christian Life, 300.

“Outside the will of God, there’s nothing I want. Inside the will of God, there’s nothing I fear”–A.W. Tozer.

“He who does not fear God, fears everything. He who fears God, fears nothing else.”

“If God’s eyes are too pure to behold evil (Habakkuk 1:13), we had better think it might be wise for us to look away as much as is feasible–even if it is called ‘entertainment.’ We are to abhor evil and cleave to that which is good, and the foundation for doing that lies in where we choose to place our minds”–Dallas Willard, Renovation of the Heart: Putting on the Character of Christ, 111.
