The battle for our lives, and the lives and souls of our children, our husbands, our friends, our families, our neighbors, and our nation is waged on our knees. When we don't pray, it's like sitting on the sidelines watching those we love and care about scrambling through a war zone, getting shot at from every angle. When we do pray, however, we're in the battle alongside them, approaching God's power on their behalf. If we also declare the Wordog God in our prayers, then we wield a powerful weapon against which no enemy can prevail.

Know that once we have received Jesus, we can't continue to live our old sinful lifestyle. Now that we have His Holy Spirit living in us, guiding us, and transforming us, we have no excuse.

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.

You are either becoming more like Christ every day or you are becoming less like Him. There is no neutral position in the Lord.

Don’t be overwhelmed . . . take it one day and one prayer at a time.

People's love for us may change, depending on what we do or don't do to please them. But God's does not-it's everlasting.

The greatest sense of love, which is available for us at all times, is God's love.
