Too often we try to use God to change our circumstance, when God is trying to use our circumstance to change us.

Your age doesn't define your maturity; your grades don't define your ability; and what people say about you doesn't define who you are.

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

I was just praying quietly in tongues and I found that a really helpful way to pray. There are other times when I use the gift when I really feel I don't know what to pray or how to pray. I know what I feel but I just can't quite put it in to words, and I use that, I find it a helpful gift. I don't think you need to speak in tongues, I don't think all Christians do speak in tongues, nobody has to speak in tongues, nobody's forced to, but if somebody wants to I think it's a good gift.

Life is a huge privilege and opportunity. God has trusted you with gifts and abilities, which he wants you to use.

People may hurt you but God will heal you. People may humiliate you but God will honour you. People may judge you but God will justify you.
