Quotes from Billy Graham

God welcomes our prayers. He is much more concerned about our hearts than our eloquence.

However, the Bible teaches that God does not always deliver His saints from adversity.

Pray for wisdom to deal with whatever is worrying you. Pray that God will act to change the circumstances according to His will. He doesn't always do what we want Him to—but He knows what's best for us, and He can be trusted.

Someday all of us will give account of the way we have used the gifts God has given. The person to whom much has been given will find much required of him.

Any Christian whose interest is directed toward himself is worldly.
