It pleases our heavenly Father when we acknowledge and confess to Him our inability to run our own lives. That is what we are doing when we say, "Father, help me! I need You!"

The devil will give up when he sees that you are not going to give in.

Don’t feel like you have to take every suggestion people give you. Not every good idea is a God idea.

What does God require of us? Our part is to believe. Our work is to trust the Lord. His requirement is that we let go and let God.

We may feel fear but we do not have to give in to it. We can do whatever we need and want to do, even if we have to "do it afraid." Courage is not the absence of fear; it is action in the presence of fear.

We cannot stand through the storms of life based on someone else's faith. We must be fully assured in our own hearts and minds.

Worry is like rocking in a rocking chair all day, because it keeps you busy but gets you nowhere.
