An evidence that our will has been broken is that we begin to thank God for that which once seemed so bitter, knowing that His will is good and that, in His time and in His way, He is able to make the most bitter waters sweet.

Nancy Leigh DeMoss (* 1958) ist eine US-amerikanische Autorin, Radiomoderatorin und Bibellehrerin im konservativ-evangelikalen Raum, die vor allem durch das Mediennetzwerk „Revive Our Hearts“ bekannt wurde. Inhaltlich vertritt sie eine Theologie der Buße, Demut und persönlichen Heiligung sowie ein komplementaristisches Rollen- und Eheverständnis. Bibellesern gilt sie als Vertreterin einer konservativen Schriftauslegung, wobei ihre Seelsorgekonzepte zur Unterordnung in der Ehe von Kritikern wegen unzureichenden Schutzes für Frauen in destruktiven Beziehungen hinterfragt werden.
