Stand still... and refuse to retreat. Look at it as God looks at it and draw upon His power to hold up under the blast.

Confidence brings joy when we let God be God.

It's not enough merely to believe there is a God. You must believe in the God who is there.

With vision there is no room to be frightened. No reason for intimidation. It's time to march forward! Let's be confident and positive!

The happiest people I know are the ones who have learned how to hold everything loosely and have given the worrisome, stress-filled, fearful details of their lives into God's keeping.

In place of our exhaustion and spiritual fatigue, God will give us rest. All He asks is that we come to Him...that we spend a while thinking about Him, meditating on Him, talking to Him, listening in silence, occupying ourselves with Him - totally and thoroughly lost in the hiding place of His presence.

While I wholeheartedly believe in choosing to approach every challenge with a great attitude, I don't mean that we should abandon authenticity and live in fantasyland.
