The key to getting out of the boat is hearing the voice of God.

I think you often say more by saying less. And interestingly enough, I mean, Jesus really set the standard. I mean, he could say more with fewer words than anybody. Most of the parables were less than 250 words. And, boy, did he have some one-liners just packed with truth.

There comes a moment when you must quit talking to God about the mountain in your life and start talking to the mountain about your God. You proclaim His power. You declare His sovereignty. You affirm His faithfulness. You stand on His Word. You cling to His promises.

The goal is glorifying God by drawing circles around the promises, miracles, and dreams He wants for you.

We give up too easily. We give up too soon. We quit praying right before the miracle happens.

One way to show someone you love them is to simply go out of your way for them. It's the gift of inconvenience.

Whether we write lyrics or craft legislation, sell homes or teach classes, design spaces or open franchises, prayer is a critical part of the creative process. Don’t just brainstorm; praystorm.
