The reason so many of us struggle so intensely with adversity is that we have yet to adopt God's perspective and priorities.

When trouble comes, focus on God's ability to care for you.

If the church marries herself to the spirit of the times, she will find herself a widow in the next generation.

The dark moments of our life will last only so long as is necessary for God to accomplish His purpose in us.

Whatever brings you to your knees in weakness carries the greatest potential for your personal success and spiritual victory.

God is responsible for the consequences of our obedience, WE are responsible for the consequences of our disobedience

God allows us to dace difficulties so that our faith will be stretched and refined. The trials we face provide an excellent opportunity for us to declare our dependence on God and not on ourselves. The way we win the battle with discouragement is by humbling ourselves before God and telling Him that we need Him. There is only one way to do this, and it is through prayer.
