Quotes by Danny L. Deaube
There are some things we learn on stormy seas that we never learn on calm smooth waters. The “God of the Storm” has something to teach us, and His love always drives His actions.
When God does not answer our prayers, the way we want Him to is because we ask according to our own will, and not His. God’s will must be a part of our prayer language.
God's plan does not center around us. We were made by God and for God and until we understand that, life will never make sense.
One may have an abundance of faith in God, but do we trust Him when we don't understand? What good is faith without trust?
Earth is but a sliver of the eternal Pie. Our focus should be on the whole pie, not the sliver.
God's will is like a jigsaw puzzle until you put all the pieces together, you won't be able to see the whole picture.
God's will is like a jigsaw puzzle, you won't be able to see the whole picture until all the pieces are together.
God's will is like a jigsaw puzzle, sooner or later, all the pieces will fit together.
