“It is not always convenient or comfortable, and sometimes worship is a sheer act of the will--a willing sacrifice.”
More from Rick Warren on Faith
“You never know God is all you need until God is all you have.”
“You cannot exalt God and yourself at the same time.”
“You cannot fulfil God's purposes for your life while focusing on your own plans.”
“Surrendering to God is not passive resignation, fatalism, or an excuse for laziness.”
“So I would say God hates war, but God loves every soldier.”
“God is looking for people to use, and if you can get usable, he will wear you out. The most dangerous prayer you can pray is this: 'Use me.'”
“You were made by God and for God, and until you understand that, life will never make sense.”
“The more you pray, the less you'll panic. The more you worship, the less you worry. You'll feel more patient and less pressured.”
“Without God, life has no purpose, and without purpose, life has no meaning. Without meaning, life has no significance or hope.”
“Real security can only be found in that which can never be taken from you--your relationship with God.”
