“If your life is in disarray and you feel uncomfortable and unworthy to pray because you are not clean, don't worry. He already knows about all of that. He is waiting for you to kneel in humility and take the first few steps. Pray for strength. Pray for others to be led to support you and guide you and lift you. Pray that the love of the Savior will pour into your heart. Pray that the miracle of the Atonement will bring forgiveness because you are willing to change. I know that those prayers will be answered, for God loves you. His Son gave his life for you. I know they will help you.” IfsKnowsFeelsFirstsHeartHelpingLife IsWaitingPrayerStepsWorrySupportLove YouHumilityWillingSonPrayingMiracleCleanGuidesLiftsGod LoveUncomfortableSaviorUnworthyAtonementWaiting For YouSupport YouGod Loves YouWilling To ChangeDisarray Author:Richard G.

“If you cannot be great, be willing to serve God in that which is small. If you cannot do great things for Him, cheerfully do little ones. If you cannot be an Aaron to serve at the altar, or a Moses to guide the tribes, consent to be "a little maid" to Xaaman the Syrian, for the honor of God's prophets, or a little child, for Christ's sake, to be set by Him in the midst of the people, as an illustration of the sweetness of humility.” PeopleIfsChildrenLittlesChristHumilityWillingHonorSakeGuidesGreat ThingsProphetMidstServing GodConsentTribesSweetnessAltarsMosesMaidsIllustration Author:Samuel Francis Smith

“To try to stop war by placing before men's eyes the terrible suffering involved will never succeed, because men are willing (in their thoughts and imaginations at least) to face any kind of suffering when motivated by noble aims like the vague and tremendous concept of freedom ...

“Worship is to feel in the heart . . . it is an attitude and a state of mind. It is a sustained act, subject to varying degrees of intensity and perfection . . . Real worship is, among other things, a feeling about the Lord our God . . . It is in our hearts. And we must be willing to express it in an appropriate manner. If we love the Lord and are led by His Holy Spirit, our worship will always bring a delighted sense of admiring awe and a sincere humility on our part.” IfsFeelsMindHeartRealStatesFeelingsSpiritAttitudeLordSubjectsHumilityWillingHolyDegreesWorshipPerfectionHoly SpiritAweAppropriateSincereIntensityState Of MindDelightedAdmiringReal Worship Author:Aiden Wilson Tozer
“To eat in a monastery refectory is an exercise in humility; daily, one is reminded to put communal necessity before individual preference. While consumer culture speaks only to preferences, treating even whims as needs to be granted (and the sooner the better), monastics sense that this pandering to delusions of self-importance weakens the true self, and diminishes our ability to distinguish desires from needs. It's a price they're not willing to pay.” NeedsSelfDesireCultureIndividualSpeakAbilityPayHumilityWillingExerciseImportanceGrantedConsumersDelusionTrue SelfDiminishPreferenceWhimSelf-importanceMonasteriesConsumer Culture Book:The Cloister Walk Source: The Cloister Walk
“The only way we really create change is to enter any situation with the humility to listen and to recognize the world as it is, and then the audacity to dream what it could be, to have the patience to start and let the work teach you, to be willing to lead when you need to lead, and to listen. To have a sense of generosity and empathy, but not over-empathy, because accountability is so critical to building solutions that work.” WorldWayNeedsDreamSituationTeachHumilityBuildingWillingEmpathySolutionsCriticalGenerosityAccountabilityAudacity Author:Jacqueline Novogratz
