When we pray, we open the door for God to come into our problems and situations and work on them.

You can have Jesus in your spirit and have an outrageous mess in your soul, and if you don't know what that's called, it's called religion.

Battles are fought in our minds every day. When we begin to feel the battle is just too difficult and want to give up, we must choose to resist negative thoughts and be determined to rise above our problems. We must decide that we're not going to quit. When we're bombarded with doubts and fears, we must take a stand and say: "I'll never give up! God's on my side. He loves me, and He's helping me! I'm going to make it!"

I have learned God doesn't always change those people we want Him to change; instead, He often uses them to change us.

One day, the idea that God loved me dropped from my head into my heart.

It is not that we don't have faith it is just that Satan is trying to destroy our faith with lies.

You need to be moving if you want God to show you which way to go.
