There's an antidote to our fears- trust. If we trust God more,we can fear less.

Are you weary? Catch your breath. Are you strong? Reserve passing judgment on the tired.

Baptism is the initial step of a faithful heart.

You'll get through this. It won't be painless. It won't be quick. But God will use this mess for good. In the meantime don't be foolish or naïve. But don't despair either. With God's help you will get through this.

God meets our needs one day at a time.

Staying engaged with God is absolutely essential for getting through a tough time.

I would love to have a more earnest prayer life! In my life, prayer is the single most difficult discipline. I love God and there's something in me that would rather do things for God than talk to God. I'm not by nature a mystical, devotional person. I like to do things. And so it's a challenge for me to have a faithful prayer life, but I know God loves me and He's not mad at me. He just wishes I would slow down and turn things over to Him. And that's what I think you achieve through prayer.
