The amount of time we spend with Jesus - meditating on His Word and His majesty, seeking His face - establishes our fruitfulness in the kingdom.

Your life is going to be determined by your prayer life.

Attitude and the spirit in which we communicate are as important as the words we say.

If we rationalize our problems when He points them out, we will spend less and less time meditating because we won't want to face God in that area of our lives.

You may go through difficulty, hardship, or trial—but as long as you are anchored to Him, you will have hope.

Fear stifles our thinking and actions. It creates indecisiveness that results in stagnation. I have known talented people who procrastinate indefinitely rather than risk failure. Lost opportunities cause erosion of confidence, and the downward spiral begins.

We must never limit God's ability to turn even the worst, most vile experience in our lives into something productive, beneficial and positive.
