“Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. To these I commit my day. If I succeed, I will give thanks. If I fail, I will seek his grace. And then, when this day is done, I will place my head on my pillow and rest.”

God’s mercies are new every morning. Receive them.

Be careful what you think, because your thoughts run your life.

Faith is the bird that sings while it is yet dark.

A woman’s heart should be so hidden in God that a man has to seek Him just to find her.

Our prayers may be awkward. Our attempts may be feeble. But since the power of prayer is in the One who hears it and not in the one who says it, our prayers do make a difference.

First, God does not send people to hell. He simply honors their choice. Hell is the ultimate expression of God’s high regard for the dignity of man. He has never forced us to choose Him, even when that means we would choose Hell.

You may go days without thinking of God, but there’s never a moment when He’s not thinking of you.

Engage with the Bible. Meditate on it day and night. Think and rethink about God’s Word. Let it be your guide. Make it your go-to book for questions. Let it be the ultimate authority in your life.

God gives us people to love and things to use, not things to love and people to use.

Feed your fears and your faith will starve. Feed your faith, and your fears will.

Prayer pushes us through life’s slumps, propels us over the humps and pulls us out of the dumps. Prayer is the oomph we need to get the answers we seek.

The key is this: Meet today’s problems with today’s strength. Don’t start tackling tomorrow’s problems until tomorrow. You do not have tomorrow’s strength yet. You simply have enough for today.

Never underestimate the power that comes when a parent pleads with God on behalf of a child.

God can’t fill you when you are already full of yourself.

A season of suffering is a small assignment when compared to the reward. Rather than begrudge your problem, explore it. Ponder it. And most of all, use it. Use it to the glory of God.

You are never more like Jesus than when you pray for others. Pray for this hurting world.

No one can touch words but words touch everyone. Our choices of words decide most of the situations we are dealing with, they have an immense power to influence and control life. 

You cannot always control what goes on outside. But you can always control what goes on inside.

The highest possible stage in moral culture is when we recognize that we ought to control our thoughts.

Don’t be like a TV reacting to somebody else’s fingers on the remote control. Decide yourself when you want to be happy or sad or whatever.

An expectation is a hidden agenda with control at its root.

We are most impatient in the situation in which we don’t have control.

Invest in your own abilities, beliefs, and actions; these are the things you have control over.

When you are angry, control your temper.
