If we acknowledge our need for God, he will help us.

If we don't get the military right nothing else matters.

When we are confronted by failure and mistakes, we can leave them behind and go on with our lives.

Say your prayers. And I'll say mine. Because I really think it helps.

Compassion, however, should mean providing a mechanism to escape poverty rather than simply maintaining people in an impoverished state by supplying handouts. By doing this we give them an opportunity to elevate their personal situations, which eventually decreases our need to take care of them and empowers them to be able to exercise compassion toward others.

The mind controls so much of the body. We are much more than flesh and blood; we are complex systems. Patients do better when they have faith that they're going to do better. That's why I always tell my patients and their families not to neglect their prayers. There's nobody I don't say that to.

My experience has confirmed the wisdom of so much of what the Bible teaches.
