I've often thought, I'm nobody. Why would God answer my prayer? But God's not impressed by eloquence; he's impressed by our longing for him.

One of God's main purposes for your life is to fill you with so much of His love that it overflows onto others.

If you feel you can't forgive, ask God to penetrate your unforgiveness with His love. When we have to do the impossible, God says that the way it happens is "not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit" (Zechariah 4:6). This means that certain things will not be accomplished by human strength, but only by the power of God. The Holy Spirit will enable us to forgive even the unforgivable.

Praying is not telling God what to do. It's trusting that God knows what to do.

It's not about finding ways to avoid God's judgment and feeling like a failure if you don't do everything perfectly. It's about fully experiencing God's love and letting it perfect you. It's not about being somebody you are not. It's about becoming who you really are.

In the darkest times of your life, your praise to God should be the loudest. Let the enemy know you're not afraid of the dark.

Integrity is not what you APPEAR to be when all eyes are on you. It is who you ARE when no one is looking.
