Sustaining faith is what sets you through those dark nights of the soul when you don’t know where to go or what to do, and it seems that you can’t last another day…but because of your faith in God, you do.

If you’ll dare to take your mind off your troubles, get your mind off your own needs and, instead, seek to be a blessing to other people, God will do more for you than you could even ask or think.

I think the first thing to do is to be aware that you can choose what you're thinking about and that your life is going down the path that you're thinking.

If your thinking is limited, your life will be limited.

Put your shoulders back, hold your head up high knowing that the same power that raised Christ from the dead lives on the inside of you.

You only have so much emotional energy each day. Don't fight battles that don't matter.

John Bunyan, author of the classic book the Pilgrim’s Progress, said “You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who cannot pay you back.” Make a decision that you will live to give. Be on the lookout each day for somebody you can bless. Don’t’ live for yourself; learn to give yourself away, and your life will make a difference.
