Margaret D. Nadauld"Trust is a core currency of any relationship. Sometimes our need to control and micromanage everything erodes our confidence in ourselves and others.

Kris Carr"The work of healing is not my work, but by faith, healing is done. The work of deliverance, great and mighty deliverance, is not my work but is my faith in Him. It is not the works of righteousness which I have done, but according to His grace. I am a product of His grace."
T. B. Joshua"The smallest seed of faith is better than the largest fruit of happiness."

Myles Munroe"I have great hope and faith, but it's a humanistic faith based in facts; you have to believe that facts exist. We can all arrive at the same facts if we engage in the process of experimentation, observation, and verification, which can solve more of the world's major problems than a debate over whether God does or doesn't exist."

John Hurt"The people that I grew up with had no problem with my faith. They did, however, seem very concerned that I would starve to death during Ramadan. I would explain to them that I have enough fat to live off of for three whole months, so fasting from sunrise to sunset is a piece of cake."
Maysoon Zayid"The measure of a man is not how great his faith is, but how great his love is. We must not let government programs disconnect our souls from each other."
J. C. Watts"Evangelicals have, for decades, believed that the country was more conservative than not, more Christian than not.

I write about faith because I almost lost mine, and I know what it is to be broken and in need of redemption. I write about gratitude because I am thankful - for all of it."
Kristin Armstrong"When the principles that run against your deepest convictions begin to win the day, then the battle is your calling, and peace has become sin. You must at the price of dearest peace lay your convictions bare before friend and enemy with all the fire of your faith."

Steve Jobs"When your maturity is derived from circumstantial factors other than faith, your level of maturity would continue to fluctuate rather than being stable. This is why I am enabled to maintain a balance and stable approach to the challenges that come my way every day. I am not moved by what people say or do concerning my relationship with God."
T. B. Joshua"The mind controls so much of the body. We are much more than flesh and blood; we are complex systems. Patients do better when they have faith that they're going to do better.

Ben Carson"To have faith doesn't mean you get any less frustrated when you don't do your best, but you know that it's not life and death. Take what you're given, and when you continue to work hard, you will see results. That will give you the confidence you need to keep going."
Tom Lehman"Blind faith in your leaders, or in anything, will get you killed."

Sriti Jha"Hollywood, we get it. The Christian faith just doesn't work for you 'in the long run.' However, for a large percentage of this country (the same country that makes your movies millions of dollars), it does. So please, for all of our sakes, keep your 'beliefs to yourself' and just 'stop the hate.'"
Steven Crowder"Faith Hill is a big role model."
Taylor Swift"I think you need to go through some stuff to really appreciate life and understand what it means to persevere, overcome and have faith. I think those tough times make you a stronger person."

There is someone you can thank. There is someone you can serve and lift. You can do it wherever you are and however alone and deserted you may feel."
Henry B. Eyring"The opposite of faith is not doubt: It is certainty. It is madness. You can tell you have created God in your own image when it turns out that he or she hates all the same people you do."

Ruth Bader Ginsburg"No lover, if he be of good faith, and sincere, will deny he would prefer to see his mistress dead than unfaithful."

Pierce Brosnan"Prayer is a privilege and the soul's sincere desire. We can move beyond routine and 'checklist' prayers and engage in meaningful prayer as we appropriately ask in faith and act, as we patiently persevere through the trial of our faith, and as we humbly acknowledge and accept 'not my will, but Thine, be done.'"
David A. Bednar"The older I get, the less I know. By that I mean the less I am sure of. I view people with strong opinions on the big stuff with distrust. I don't think we should have certain certainties on faith and politics; I think we should be open-minded."

Jeremy Camp"I'm about 5' 10", and my hair is the length of my whole body now. We grow our hair because of faith, but it's getting heavy.

So to play sports, I put it in a backpack."

I think that your faith has to be first personal. I struggle with those people that preach something and go back behind closed doors and live differently."
Nikki Haley"Saving faith is an immediate relation to Christ, accepting, receiving, resting upon Him alone, for justification, sanctification, and eternal life by virtue of God's grace."
