As a camel kneels before his master to have him remove his burden at the end of the day, so kneel each night and let the Master take your burden.

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!

Don't bother to give God instructions; just report for duty.

God has plans, not problems for our lives. The life of a Christian is an education for a higher service. God is training you for something.

Do you know what hurts so very much? It's love. Love is the strongest force in the world, and when it is blocked that means pain. There are two things we can do when this happens. We can kill that love so that it stops hurting. But then of course part of us dies, too. Or we can ask God to open up another route for that love to travel.

And our wise Father in heaven knows when we're going to need things too. Don't run out ahead of Him.

Happiness isn't something that depends on our surroundings... It's something we make inside ourselves.
