We must remember that the shortest distance between our problems and their solutions is the distance between our knees and the floor.
It is not the trials in your life that develop or destroy you, but rather your response to those hardships.
God is responsible for the consequences of our obedience, WE are responsible for the consequences of our disobedience
Prayer is an act of faith. Just by praying to God, you are declaring our trust in someone other than yourself. Your faith is increased as you pray and watch how God answers your prayers. God says in Jeremiah 33:3, Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know. God is awesome in power and there is never a time when He is not beside you. He is faithful and holy.
From the world’s perspective, there are many places you can go to find comfort. But there is only one place you will find a hand to catch your tears and a heart to listen to your every longing. True peace comes only from God.
Nobody else can make us discouraged; it is a choice that we alone make when facing disappointments.
Basically, there are two paths you can walk: faith or fear. It's impossible to simultaneously trust God and not trust God.
Trusting God means looking beyond what we can see to what God sees.
If God has positioned us in a certain place, we must leave all the details to Him.
God’s Word is absolutely true. You may not understand how God is going to bring about what He’s promised you, but He is keeping every promise that He has ever made. He will never deceive you or disappoint you, and He will never change His mind about what He’s told you.
Our heavenly Father understands our disappointment, suffering, pain, fear, and doubt. He is always there to encourage our hearts and help us understand that He's sufficient for all of our needs. When I accepted this as an absolute truth in my life, I found that my worrying stopped.
Wisdom is the capacity to see things from God's viewpoint.
Obey God and leave all the consequences to Him.
Often times God demonstrates His faithfulness in adversity by providing for us what we need to survive. He does not change our painful circumstances. He sustains us through them.
All of us have areas of weakness. God wants these character flaws to show us how totally dependent we are upon Him. When we handle them properly, they drive us into a deeper, more intimate relationship with the Lord. But uncontrolled weakness wreaks havoc in a person's life.
Fight all your battles on your knees and you win every time.
Too many Christians have a commitment of convenience. They'll stay faithful as long as it's safe and doesn't involve risk, rejection, or criticism. Instead of standing alone in the face of challenge or temptation, they check to see which way their friends are going.
When we surrender to His timing, He does mighty things in and for us, according to His will and His timing. God acts on behalf of those who wait for Him.
Focusing on difficulties intensifies and enlarges the problem. When we focus our attention on God, the problem is put into its proper perspective and it no longer overwhelms us.
The gate is small because truth guards the entrance. The way is narrow because the Lord protects us with wise boundaries.
Wherever you go, God is with you - watching over you, protecting you, and providing the truth you need for every situation. The question is, will you open your heart to His Word, apply it to your life, and allow God to change you so that He can use you in ways far greater than you can imagine?
Take steps each day to be sure your life expresses commitment to Jesus.
A Christian has no right being in a fight unless it's a spiritual fight.
When friends abandoned him, Paul asked God not to count their actions against them. He followed the example of Jesus, who prayed for the Father to forgive His persecutors. What's your response when friends let you down? Forgiveness is the choice that pleases God every time.
You may go through difficulty, hardship, or trial—but as long as you are anchored to Him, you will have hope.
