Christian evangelist Beth Moore memorably says success comes from within a person, with a healthy push from God. Here are 10 things she says on the subject:
SPECIAL: Prayer Changes Your Brain in 4 Amazing Ways
1. From her book, “So Long, Insecurity: You've Been A Bad Friend To Us: “The best possible way to keep from getting sucked into the superficial narcissistic mentality that money, possessions, and sensuality can satisfy and secure us is to deliberately give ourselves to something much greater.”
2. From her book, “Looking Up: Trusting Your Every Day to God”: “I am convinced that when the last chapter of each life story is recorded in the annals of heaven, people would rather have lived out their fullness of days with purpose rather than painlessness.”
3: Another quote from “Looking Up”: “Has it occurred to you that maybe a pit is one place where you’re not supposed to be content? Maybe you should thank God you’re not.”
4. And another from “Looking Up”: “Will you think outside the box – outside the pit – and accept the truth that God doesn’t want you in there any longer?”

5. In an open letter to LifeWay, publisher of her Bible study packages,
Moore wrote on her Living Proof Ministries blog: “I have had the privilege to do the one thing on earth I feel most called to do.”
5: From her book: “When Godly People Do Ungodly Things”: “Make no excuses. Rationalize nothing. Blame no one. Humble yourself.”
6.
Defining a sense of security, particularly for women, in an interview with the Houston Chronicle: “It's a sense of sustained, God-given dignity and value.”
7. On making progress even when you think you’ve had a setback (from “So Long, Insecurity”): “Maybe we’re all just sick to death of taking three steps forward and two steps back. Call me a math wizard, but isn’t that still one step forward? Isn’t that still some pretty big progress as we run against the hurricane winds of a godless culture?”
8. Another quote from the “Insecurity” book: “Has it occurred to you that maybe a pit is one place where you’re not supposed to be content? Maybe you should thank God you’re not.”
9. Another quote from “Insecurity”: “Will you think outside the box – outside the pit – and accept the truth that God doesn’t want you in there any longer?”

10. Another quote on getting out of the pit, this time from “Looking Up”: “I believe God has scheduled a time and a way for you to get out of your pit. You’re going to need to show up for it, though.”
