Why not a verb--the most active and dynamic of all? ~ Mary Daly I pray hard, work hard and leave the rest to God. ~ Florence Griffith Joyner Faith is not belief. Belief is passive. Faith is active. ~ Edith Hamilton God will be present, whether asked or not. ~ Latin Proverb We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence.

No future is totally dark and hopeless if we have faith. ~ Rev. Paul Osumi Faith grows only in the dark. You've got to trust Him where you can't trace Him. That's faith. You just take Him at His word, believe Him, and grip the nail-scarred hands a little lighter. And faith grows. ~ Lyell Rader, Growing Heart
