When you're tempted to be upset, ask yourself 'Is this worth giving up my joy?'

When you face difficult times, know that challenges are not sent to destroy you. They're sent to promote, increase and strengthen you.

I write all my sermons.

Make the decision and say, "I'm not letting that worry in. I'm done being upset when my plans don't work out. I'm not letting that stress in." Negative thoughts will still come to your mind, but you don't have to let them into your spirit.

Rewards await you if you stay steadfast in your faith.

Stay focused, ignore the distractions, and you will accomplish your goals much faster.

You won't be free from guilt if you are constantly replaying the negative memories of your past. If you're going to replay anything, replay your victories!
