When you resist a difficulty you antagonize it, and it bites back.

And the Truth turns out to be nothing less than the amazing but undeniable fact that the whole outer world -whether it be the physical body, the common things of life, the winds and the rain, the clouds, the earth itself -is amenable to man's thought, and that he had dominion over it when he knows it.

The story of your life is really the story of the relations between yourself and God.

Your fixed convictions concerning the things that really matter mold your destiny.

Never forget that the circumstances of your life for tomorrow are molded by your mental conduct today.

Where you stand today does not matter; it is the direction in which your are moving, and the rate at which you travel, that count.

God is bigger than any problem. God in you is greater than any difficulty you have to meet. God cares for you more than it is possible for any human being to realize. God can help you in proportion to the degree in which you worship him. You worship God by really putting your trust in him instead of in outer conditions, or in fear, or in depression, or in seeming dangers, and so forth. You worship God by recognizing his presence everywhere, in all people and conditions that you meet; and by praying regularly. You pray well when you pray with joy.
