Favorite Quotes from When Struggles Teach Us What It Means to Surrender All







"When we actually lay down the areas of our lives that we really can't control, and the areas of our lives where we want to fight for and hold onto so tightly, when we can open our palms ... is when God really does work in our lives.""Some of the best prayer times I've ever had, and the best prayers I've ever prayed are ones that just say, 'Help,' or 'Lord, I can't do this on my own.""... we are His branches, He is the Vine--apart from Him we do nothing, and we always forget that part, it's like all this and Jesus too." --Michelle Lazurek
