If the Gospels were truly the pattern of God’s activity, then defeat was only the beginning.

Worrying is carrying tomorrow's load with today's strength- carrying two days at once. It is moving into tomorrow ahead of time. Worrying doesn't empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength.

Any concern too small to be turned into a prayer is too small to be made into a burden.

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

Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength. it does not enable us to escape evil. It makes us unfit to face evil when it comes. it is the interest you pay on trouble before it comes.

Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow. It empties today of its strength.

If you look at the world, you'll be distressed. If you look within, you'll be depressed. If you look at God you'll be at rest.
