The Holy Spirit is not just an illumination or inspiration that comes to our minds so we can see truth, He is a person who himself knows the things of God and reveals them to us.

You might not like where you are at right now, but even in that place, God has promised you peace that surpasses all understanding. The same kind of peace that Daniel had in the lion's den is available for you.
Francis de Sales
To desert an occupation given by obedience in order to unite ourselves to God by prayer, by reading, or by recollection, would be to withdraw from God to unite ourselves to our own self-love.
Andrew Murray
Christ is God: The soul worships Him as the Almighty One, able to do a divine work in the power of divine omnipotence. Christ is God: even as God works in all nature from within, and in secret, so the soul trusts Christ as the everywhere present and the Indwelling One, doing His saving working in the hidden depths of its being. Christ is God: in Him we come into living contact with the person and life of God Himself . . . Christ is God.
Bill Johnson
Many times, the problems in our lives reveal a Lordship issue. No problem looks big in the face of the One who defeated everything on our behalf. Everything we face is an opportunity to walk in deeper trust and surrender to our wonderful Heavenly Father and Lord.
Kay Arthur
The will of God for your life is simply that you submit yourself to Him each day and say, "Father, Your will for today is mine. Your pleasure for today is mine. Your work for today is mine. I trust You to be God. You lead me today and I will follow."
C. S. Lewis
We all want progress, but if you're on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn, and walking back to the right road; in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive.

Fasting, if we conceive of it truly, must not... be confined to the question of food and drink; fasting should really be made to include abstinence from anything which is legitimate in and of itself for the sake of some special spiritual purpose. There are many bodily functions which are right and normal and perfectly legitimate, but which for special peculiar reasons in certain circumstances should be controlled. That is fasting.
Fyodor Dostoyevsky
I believe there is nothing lovelier, deeper, more sympathetic, and more perfect than the Savior; there is in the world only one figure of absolute beauty: Christ.
Henri J. M. Nouwen
But you have to pray. You have to listen to the voice who calls you the beloved, because otherwise you will run around begging for affirmation, for praise, for success. And then you're not free.
