God may allow His servant to succeed when He has disciplined him to a point where he does not need to succeed to be happy. The man who is elated by success and is cast down by failure is still a carnal man. At best his fruit will have a worm in it.

God is looking for those with whom He can do the impossible – what a pity that we plan only the things that we can do by ourselves.
A.W. Tozer (Pastor, Preacher)
When I understand that everything happening to me is to make me more Christlike, it resolves a great deal of anxiety.
A.W. Tozer (Pastor, Preacher)
The true Christian is one who is kind of sick of this world. If I find anybody who is settled down too snugly into this world, I am made to doubt whether he’s ever truly been born again.
A.W. Tozer (Pastor, Preacher)
The true follower of Christ will not ask, “If I embrace this truth, what will it cost me?” Rather he will say, “This is truth. God help me to walk in it, let come what may!”
A.W. Tozer (Pastor, Preacher)
The devil loves it when we say we believe then prioritize everything in our lives ahead of God.
A.W. Tozer (Pastor, Preacher)
As God is exalted to the right place in our lives, a thousand problems are solved all at once.
A.W. Tozer (Pastor, Preacher)
Come near to the holy men and women of the past and you will soon feel the heat of their desire after God. They mourned for Him, they prayed and wrestled and sought for Him day and night, in season and out, and when they found Him, the finding was all the sweeter for the long seeking.
A.W. Tozer (Pastor, Preacher)
God’s Kingdom isn’t divided into areas of important people and areas of little people. In God’s sight, everyone’s needful.
A.W. Tozer (Pastor, Preacher)
Whatever God can do faith can do, and whatever faith can do prayer can do when it is offered in faith. An invitation to prayer is, therefore, an invitation to omnipotence, for prayer engages the Omnipotent God and brings Him into our human affairs. Nothing is impossible to the man who prays in faith, just as nothing is impossible with God. This generation has yet to prove all that prayer can do for believing men and women.
