People may resist our advice, spurn our appeals, reject our suggestions, refuse our help, but they are powerless against our prayers.

The storms in my life have become workshops where I can practice my faith in God's sovereignty.

We may have to face God's truth about our pain--it is real, but we must be careful not to get God and life mixed up. God does not cause the pain and sorrow. He suffers with us and desires to comfort us as only he can.

God promises to make the vale of trouble a door of hope

I believe God, through His Spirit, grants us love, joy, and peace no matter what is happening in our lives. As Christians, we shouldn't expect our joy to always feel like happiness, but instead recognize joy as inner security -- a safeness in our life with Christ.

God's truth tells us the truth about ourselves, but His grace forgives us for the truth He reveals.
