CHARLES R. SWINDOLLGod often does His best work in us when He catches us by surprise and introduces a change that is completely against our own desire.
CHARLES R. SWINDOLLWorry is assuming responsibilities that you cannot handle. They truth is, they are responsibilities that God never intended for you to handle, because they are His.

God will not scream and shout over the noisy clamor; He expects us to seek quietness, where His still small voice can be heard again.
