If we didn’t struggle through some things, we would never develop the strength and stamina we need to survive in this world.
It pleases our heavenly Father when we acknowledge and confess to Him our inability to run our own lives. That is what we are doing when we say, “Father, help me! I need You!”
Nobody can ever say that being negative ever helped them at all – not in any way.
My father was a mean, controlling and manipulative person for most of his life. He was unpredictable and unstable.
Worry increases pressure; prayer releases peace.
Many people in the western world are spoiled by the conveniences of our culture.
Our problems are God’s opportunities.
Learning to live for others isn’t something that just comes naturally to anybody. You have to train yourself to do it.
We must remember we are stewards of what God has provided for us, not owners.
The best way to GET forgiveness is to GIVE forgiveness.
Every day that goes by puts us closer to the day when Christ will return.
How one life turns out is not dependent on what people do to us or what they don’t do for us.
To know and experience what God can do, we must first realize and acknowledge what we cannot do. We must get our eyes off of ourselves and our limited ability, and totally onto Him and His infinite power.
It is our job to listen to God and let Him tell us what is going on and what we are to do about it – leaving the rest to Him to work out according to His knowledge and will, not ours.
Having everything your way is highly overrated.
We are to enjoy what we have while we have it, but we are never to get to the point where we think we could not love without it.
God never promised us a trouble-free life.
It’s just human nature to try and figure things out. So, when we’re in the midst of a situation, we usually try to reason our way through it.
I am not promising that God will give you everything you want. There are times when we want things that God knows would not be good for us.
If you are tired of living on the beaten path that everyone else walks, venture into the woods. Some people would be afraid they would get lost, but a confident woman expects to have a new experience that might be outrageously wonderful.
