Find joy in the ordinary.

Gratitude develops faith. The surest path out of a slump is marked by the road sign "thank you, God."

You can endure change by pondering His permanence.

Nothing fosters courage like a clear grasp of grace... & nothing fosters fear like an ignorance of mercy

I'm thinking, "What difference will this sermon make in their lives tomorrow? What am I trying to give them that will make a difference?" For example, had to do with the theme that Jesus will not let go of you. He's holding onto you. I talked to them about the disciples and Peter on the night before the crucifixion of Christ - how Jesus said that all of you are going to turn away, but He would be waiting for them in Galilee.

God meets our needs one day at a time.

God uses every possible means to communicate with you.
