339 Quotes by Elizabeth George

When God is in sharp focus, then life is also undistorted.

When we don't understand and don't agree with the way life has gone, we are to bow before God and once again confess that we can't understand His wisdom. In faith, we are to accept His wisdom, His Word, and His workings, trusting in Him and obeying His commands.

God has plans for you and His plans are for good because God Himself is good. He can neither think nor do evil.

As we come to know God better, we will also find it easier to know, follow, and accept His will for our life.

Prayer enables you to tap into God's wisdom anywhere, anytime, no matter what's going on.

Be critical of but not brutal with your writing. If something isn't essential, get rid of it. Remember that good dialogue can serve a whole passel of purposes in your novel, and to overlook one of them is to overlook one of the tools of the craft. Like hitting a nail with a screwdriver, if you know what I mean.

God's ways and His will come in His own perfect time.

Gather knowledge about the craft of writing. Immerse yourself in the art of it. Then write. Write yourself silly. Write yourself mad. Write yourself blind. Trust the excitement that builds within you when the idea is good and the writing is superb. You can do it, but that's the hell of it as well as the exultation of it. You have to do it.

Asking in prayer helps you to see your problem in the light of God's power.
