Whatever we focus on determines what we become.

I never said the way of Christ is easy. Are you prepared to let go of everything He would not approve?

We find, sooner or later, that in prayer we either abandon ourselves or we abandon prayer.

A Johns Hopkins doctor says that 'we do not know why it is that the worriers die sooner than the non-worriers, but that is a fact.' But I, who am simple of mind, think I know we are inwardly constructed, in nerve and tissue and brain cell and soul, for faith and not for fear. God made us that way. Therefore, the need of faith is not something imposed on us dogmatically, but it is written in us intrinsically. We cannot live without it. To live by worry is to live against Reality.
