No one ever said it was easy being an Christian. Whether you’ve just started to walk with Jesus or you’ve been a Christian for years, there will always be those moments when you ask yourself if this whole Christian thing is worth it. Instead of giving up and throwing-in the proverbial white towel, keep your head up and look to the following 20 quotes to inspire and motivate you during those tough patches.
- “God never said that the journey would be easy, but He did say that the arrival would be worthwhile.” ’- Max Lucado
- “We may speak about a place where there are no tears, no death, no fear, no night; but those are just the benefits of heaven. The beauty of heaven is seeing God.” ’- Max Lucado, Experiencing the Heart of Jesus: Knowing His Heart, Feeling His Love
- “Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows; it empties today of its strength. Corrie Ten Boom
- “God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him” ’- John Piper
- “If God called us to a task, He will then qualify us for the job. Jack Hyles
- “God loves each of us as if there were only one of us.” ’- Augustine
- “What you are is God’s gift to you, what you become is your gift to God.” ’- Hans Urs von Balthasar, Prayer
- “We have a God who delights in impossibilities.” ’- Billy Sunday
- “We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.” ’- Chuck Swindoll
- “When we lose one blessing, another is often most unexpectedly given in its place.” ’- C.S. Lewis
- “Our greatest fear should not be of failure but of succeeding at things in life that don’t really matter.” ’- Francis Chan
- “I’m not afraid of the devil. The devil can’t handle Jesus to whom I’m joined; he can’t handle the Jesus to whom I’m united; he can’t handle Jesus whose nature dwells in my nature.
- “Worrying is arrogant because God knows what He’s doing.” ’- Barbara Cameron, A Time to Heal
- “Faith does not eliminate questions. But faith knows where to take them.” ’- Elisabeth Elliot, A Chance to Die: The Life and Legacy of Amy Carmichael
- “Radical obedience to Christ is not easy… It’s not comfort, not health, not wealth, and not prosperity in this world. Radical obedience to Christ risks losing all these things. But in the end, such risk finds its reward in Christ. And he is more than enough for us.” ’- David Platt, Radical: Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream
- “Experience had quickly taught her that she could not survive the storms without the anchor of the constraining love of Christ and what she called the “Rock-counsciousness” of the promise given her, “He goeth before.” ’- Elisabeth Elliot, A Chance to Die: The Life and Legacy of Amy Carmichael
- “We fail in the work of grace and love when there is too much of us and not enough of God.” ’- Suzanne Woods Fisher, The Search
- “Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.” ’- James 1:12

- “Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones. And when you have finished your daily task, go to sleep in peace. God is awake.” ’- Victor Hugo

Hello to all, how is the whole thing, I think every one is getting more from
this web page, and your views are pleasant in support of new visitors.
I love these. #5 is one of particular enjoyment. Much the same as, “God doesn’t call the qualified. He qualifies the called.” Amen. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you and be bless!
This is awesome! Life transforming quotes! I honestly found succour and reassurance in some of them!

I love these! I literally copy and pasted some of these quotes so I can use them as screen savers!
Here’s one of my favorite Christian quotes! “ Sometimes I need to focus on the battle God wants to win in me more then the battle I want him to win for me.” – Steven Furtick
These are really thought provoking quotes. It’s really difficult to start a blog/website dedicated to faith and I know that first hand. Keep up the good work.
These are amazing encouragement quotes for Christians! I enjoyed reading your blog.
Thanks for taking the time to comment. God Bless
God Bless Ameen
Cool post! I just started blogging, so much cool stuff on here! My favorite quote (this week anyway)

You’re gladly welcome
Great post thank you for all the inspirational quotes! flightministries.com
Forgiveness is my anchor and my understanding of Jesus is my guide for finding, receiving, and giving forgiveness. There are times when I struggle deeply with this concept but my belief in the absolute forgiveness of God as expressed and exemplified by Jesus is my encouragement.
YES!
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” — Jesus (John 3:16)
This is one of my favourites. Will perhaps add to another post.
God is good all the time

We can be TIRED—WEARY, and EMOTIONALLY DISTRAUGHT, but after spending time ALONE with God, we will find HE INJECTS into our bodies ENERGY, POWER, AND STRENGTH!! One thing for sure, it is WRONG to look for PEACE in people or circumstances!! There is only ONE PLACE to find TRUE REST AND PEACE and that is in the SWEET PASTURES OF HIS GRACE, that is MANIFESTED by GOD’s presence in our lives!! Even after you have TRIED your best, dont LOSE HOPE!! Just trust that God’s plans are better than our DREAMS!! When we are TIRED and cant figure things out, please God, help us to SEE your part in the EQUATION of our lives!! Help us to know, God, that where our STRENGTH ENDS, YOUR STRENGTH BEGINS!! Help us to look for you, God, for our very NEXT STEP and to WAIT in CALM EXPECTATION!!! ðŸ˜Å
