Love is the strongest force in the world.

Trying to do the Lord's work in your own strength is the most confusing, exhausting, and tedious of all work. But when you are filled with the Holy Spirit, then the ministry of Jesus just flows out of you.

More and more the distinction between prayer and the rest of life seemed to be vanishing for Betsie.

God raises the level of the impossible.

I prayed to dispel my fear, until suddenly, and I do not know how the idea came to me, I began to pray for others. I prayed for everyone who came into my thoughts - - people with whom I had traveled, those who had been in prison with me, my school friends of years ago. I do not know how long I continued my prayer, but this I do know - - my fear was gone! Interceding for others had released me!

Surely there is no more wretched sight that the human body unloved and uncared for.

Worry is a cycle of inefficient thoughts whirling around a center of fear.
