When things aren't working out as you wish, be patient. Stop trying to move ahead of God. His timing is perfect. Trust Him.

Difficulties come into our lives to develop us. Every storm is a school. Every trial is a teacher. Every experience is an education.

Life is so short. Grudges are a waste of time. Laugh when you can, apologise when you should, and trust God with what you cannot change.

Church is not an organization you join; it is a family where you belong, a home where you are loved and a hospital where you find healing.

Appreciate those who love you. Serve those who need you. Forgive those who hurt you. Thank those who help you.

Friendship multiplies joy and divides sorrow.

It doesn't really matter so much what the words are I don't think - maybe if you're a real expert in prayer you could do it through silence. But I think sometimes it helps to express it and to know you're expressing it to God. Paul talked about praying with your spirit and that's basically what it is, it's expressing what you feel deep down in a language which God gives you.
