“A man who wants to lead the orchestra must turn his back on the crowd.”

No one can pray and worry at the same time. When we worry, we aren’t praying. When we pray, we aren’t worrying.

What if you woke up this morning and had only the things you thanked God for yesterday?

Anxiety and fear are cousins but not twins. Fear sees a threat. Anxiety imagines one.

God sees in you a masterpiece about to happen.

Don’t be defined by your failures, be refined by them.

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.

I believe you make your day. You make your life. So much of it is all perception, and this is the form that I built for myself. I have to accept it and work within those compounds, and it’s up to me.

The people who are No. 1 are No. 1 for a reason.

If your God is mighty enough to ignite the sun, could it be that He is mighty enough to light your path?

The shell must break before the bird can fly.

Attain the unattainable.

The future is now. Roll up your sleeves and let your passion flow. The country we carry in our hearts is waiting.

The life of your dreams, everything you would love to be, do or have, has always been closer to you than you knew, because the power to everything you want is inside you.

When you have an inspired thought, you must trust it and act on it.
