“His Word will prevail over sickness, prevail over addictions, prevail over fear and depression.”

God has us in the palm of His hand.

God hasn’t brought you this far to leave you. He won’t let you get in a problem that He can’t get you out of.

Without big battles, you won’t have big victories.

Pay attention to what you’re saying about yourself. You are prophesying your future.

Let faith rise in your heart.

Your steps are being ordered by the Lord. If He allowed it to happen, He’s going to bring good out of it.

You’re going to see the goodness of God in ways you’ve never seen.

Now, more than ever, our words matter.

Keep doing the right thing. Keep shining. Keep being good to people.

Just because you don’t see anything happening, doesn’t mean God is not working.

Don’t expect everyone to cheer you on. God has put greatness in you. Don’t let their lack of support cause you to stay in the valley.

We don’t know what the future holds, but we do know Who holds the future.

This is a new day. God is doing a new thing.

Instead of complaining about the valley, being discouraged over what you’re going through, know that valley is leading you to the awesome future God has in store.

God is saying, “Get ready, I’m about to restore the years. Your latter days will be better than your former days.

Nothing can stand against our God. No sickness is too great, no addiction too strong, no enemy too powerful.

Drugs are a bet with your mind.

When I talk about drugs and alcohol, I’m talking about sex addiction, gambling addiction, eating addiction, throwing-up addiction. I’m not talking about mental illness.

I seem to you cruel and too much addicted to gluttony, when I beat my cook for sending up a bad dinner. If that appears to you too trifling a cause, say for what cause you would have a cook flogged.

I was not addicted to stealing in my youth, nor have ever been; yet such was the confidence of the Negroes in the neighborhood, even at this early period of my life, in my superior judgment, that they would often carry me with them when they were going on any roguery, to plan for them.

Pain and loneliness can be addictive, but there can also be strength in embracing it.

Until I went to rehab, I didn’t understand what it did.

I’m addicted to self-improvement. The thing is, there’s so damn much about myself to improve.

Discoveries are made by gluttons and addicts. The man who forgets to eat and sleep has an appetite for fact, for interrelations among causes.
