"We are a long time in learning that all our strength and salvation is in God." ― David Brainerd Topic(s): Faith More From David Brainerd "The all-seeing eye of God beheld our deplorable state; infinite pity touched the heart of the Father of mercies; and infinite wisdom laid the plan of our recovery." "If you hope for happiness in the world, hope for it from God, and not from the world." "Ardent love or desire introduced, as passionately longing to please and glorify the Divine Being, to be in every respect conformed to him, and in that way to enjoy him." More In Faith "Are you gonna fuel your faith or fuel your fear? I’m all about fueling my faith, especially when it’s hard to do so."― Carrie-Anne Moss "Family and friends and faith are the most important things in your life and you should be building friendships."― Barbara Bush "The mere assemblage of peace loving people to interchange convincing reasons for their common faith, mere exhortation and argument to the public in favor of peace in general fall short of the mark."― Elihu Root
