You have to have courage to be obedient to God.

Suffering prepares you by training you to trust God and know that He is always at work in your life.

Our problems may stay, our circumstances may remain, but we know God is in control. We are focused on His adequacy, not our inadequacy.

God is honored by large, difficult, and impossible requests when we ask, seek, knock, and trust our loving Father always to answer for our good.

I know God can cut it (popularity) off in a minute.

In times of defeat, we never know how close we are to victory. In every event of failure, God has planted a seed of success.

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.
