Prayer does make a difference-a life-changing, mind-blowing, earth-rattling difference.
Sip the shame so you won’t have to guzzle the regret.
I so desperately want my words to be indicative of how deeply and completely I love my people.
I was made for more than being stuck in a vicious cycle of defeat. I am not made to be a victim of my poor choices. I was made to be a victorious child of God.
Don’t put the whole of your identity into the smallness of a situation.
It’s not my perfect performance that captures God’s attention. It’s my complete dependence on Him that He notices.
The decisions you make determine the schedule you keep. The schedule you keep determines the life you live. And how you live your life determines how you spend your soul.
God is using all of your experiences, both good and bad, to develop your character to match your calling.
Too many people think that finding the reason God placed us here on earth will come in one assignment with a big title and complete job description. I believe that discovering our purpose will unfold slowly, like a seed planted deep in the ground.
I can face things that are out of my control and not act out of control.
My imperfections will never override God’s promises. God’s promises are not dependent on my ability to always choose well, but rather on His ability to use well.
We have to slow the rhythm of rush in our lives so that the best of who are can emerge.
We can’t always fix our circumstances, but we can fix our minds on God.
Whether we’re on the path toward victory or defeat is determined by the very next choice we make. Not the choices from yesterday. Not the choices five minutes ago.
We were made for more than compromise. We were made for God’s promises in every area of our lives.
Maybe God’s goal wasn’t for me to raise a good rule-following child. Instead, His goal was for me to raise a God-following adult.
Wisdom makes decisions today that will still be good tomorrow.
Not making a decision is actually a decision. It’s the decision to stay the same.
I must exchange whispers with God before shouts with the world.
There is power in simply speaking the name Jesus.
