Beth Moore Quote

You and I have each experienced times when we’ve prayed our hardest for two different people to be healed of physical illness. One is delivered on earth; the other is delivered in heaven. We’ve also prayed for people struggling to make ends meet. One gets a job; sometimes the other loses her home. So why does God so often bring such different results from the same depth of earnest, believing prayer? 1) We don’t know; 2) we’re not supposed to know; and 3) we’re not responsible for the One who does. We are not God. We are His children.

About Beth Moore

Wanda Elizabeth "Beth" Moore (born Wanda Elizabeth Green, June 16, 1957) is an American Anglican evangelist, author, and Bible teacher. She is president of Living Proof Ministries, a Christian organization she founded in 1994 to teach women to know and love Jesus through the study of Scripture. Living Proof Ministries is based in Houston, Texas. Moore, who is "arguably the most prominent white evangelical woman in America," speaks at arena events and has sold millions of books.
In conjunction with Lifeway Christian Resources, Living Proof Ministries conducted more than a dozen "Living Proof Live" conferences around the United States annually, with Travis Cottrell leading worship. From 2007 to 2011, Beth Moore, Kay Arthur, and Priscilla Shirer collaborated on a LifeWay weekend conference known as "Deeper Still: The Event." While Living Proof Ministries no longer works in conjunction with Lifeway, Beth Moore continues to teach through live events and a podcast/radio show called Living Proof with Beth Moore, as well as on her YouTube channel of the same name.
Moore also continues to write books and produces video resources based on the Bible studies that she conducts at the Living Proof Live conferences, although today they are published through Living Proof Ministries rather than Lifeway Christian Resources. She has taught at conferences for women in Ireland, England, Singapore, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, and India.
Moore and her husband, Keith, joined the Anglican Church in North America in 2021.
