Dear God, May all the tears I cry, and all the tears I have not cried but hold within, pour forth into Your hands. Please take each painful thought and unhealed wound, and send angels here to me. I long for peace. Amen.

You don't want to try to protect yourself from the pain of a crisis. You want to learn everything you can from it.

Nobody wants to die feeling that they have not sung their song.

We can't look to the world to restore our worth; we're here to restore our worth to the world. The world outside us can reflect our glory, but it cannot create it. It cannot crown us. Only God can crown us, and he already has.

The only antidote to chaos is peace itself.

The letters I get on the Internet and the responses to my books make it very clear that something is trying to happen. And I'm just one person. There are millions of people really ready to go. We're just not sure where to go yet.

Painful experiences are not meant to linger. They are meant to teach us what they need to teach us, and then dissolve.
