Mark Batterson Opportunity Quotations

I think faith is the small mustard seed of opportunities every day. For example, 'Am I going to love this person? Am I going to share my faith with this person? Am I going to pray that little prayer?' It really is a daily thing where you seize those little mustard seed opportunities and then see what God does.

Don't seek opportunity. Seek God and opportunity will seek you.

Drawing prayer circles isn’t about proving yourself to God; it’s about giving God an opportunity to prove Himself to you. Just in case you have forgotten — and to ensure that you always remember — God is for you. I can’t promise that God will always give you the answer you want. I can’t promise that He’ll answer on your timeline. But I can promise this: He answers every prayer, and He keeps every promise. That is who He is. That is what He does.

As I look back on my own life, I recognize this simple truth: The greatest opportunities were the scariest lions. Part of me has wanted to play it safe, but I’ve learned that taking no risks is the greatest risk of all.

God is in the résumé-building business. He is always using past experiences to prepare us for future opportunities.

You don’t need to seek opportunity. All you have to do is seek God. And if you seek God, opportunity will seek you.

If you wait for perfect conditions to seize an opportunity, you'll be waiting till the day you die.
