"But whatever you ask for or whatever your effort, you must feel, even while trying your best, using knowledge or putting forth power that the result depends upon the Divine Grace." <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/04/5-april-1951#p12</ref>
==Be Grateful to the Divine Grace==
The best possible way is to allow the Divine Grace to work in you, never to oppose it, never to be ungrateful and turn against it—but to follow it always to the goal of Light and Peace and unity and Ananda. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/the-divine-grace-and-guidance#p24</ref>

Let us give ourselves without reserve to the Divine, so best shall we receive the Divine Grace. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/the-divine-grace#p28</ref>

Gratitude: A loving recognition of the Grace received from the Divine. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/gratitude#p2-p3</ref>

And later—you must pay great attention to this (''Mother puts her finger on her lips'')—the Grace will answer you, the Grace will pull you out of the trouble, the Grace will give you the solution to your problem or will help you to get out of your difficulty. But once you are free from trouble and have come out of your difficulty, don't forget that it is the Grace which pulled you out, and don't think it is yourself. For this, indeed, is the important point. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/06/15-september-1954#p33</ref>

...if one can be filled with gratitude and thanksgiving for the divine Grace, it puts the finishing touch, and at each step one comes to see that things are exactly what they had to be and the best that could be. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/07/13-july-1955#p44</ref>

All discoveries are always graces—wonderful graces. When you discover that you can't do anything, when you discover that you are a fool, when you discover that you have no capacity, when you discover that you are so petty and mean and stupid, well... "Oh, Lord, I thank You so much, how good You are to show me all this!" And then, it's over. Because the minute you discover it, you say, "Now this is up to You. You will do what has to be done for all this to change." And the best part of it is that it does change! It does change. When you do like this (''gesture of offering to the Heights''), sincerely: "Oh, take it, take it, take it, rid me of it, let me be... only You"... It's wonderful. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/agenda/07/january-31-1966#p48-p49</ref>

Right use of the granted Grace: no deformation, no diminution, no exaggeration―a clear sincerity. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/the-divine-grace#p30</ref>
''What is the way to accept the Grace with gratitude?''
Ah! First of all you must feel the need for it.
This is the most important point. It is to have a certain inner humility which makes you aware of your helplessness without the Grace, that truly, without it you are incomplete and powerless.
An absolute faith and trust in the Grace is, in the last analysis, the Supreme Wisdom. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/faith-in-the-divine-grace-and-help#p31</ref>
