"At the end of the year we turn with eagerness to all that God has for the future, and yet anxiety is apt to arise when we remember our yesterdays. But God is the God of our yesterdays. It is true that we have lost opportunities that will never return, but God can transform this destructive anxiety into a constructive thoughtfulness for the future. Let the past rest, but let it rest in the sweet embrace of Christ. Leave the broken, irreversible past in His hands, and step out into the invincible future with Him." - Oswald Chambers

"Everybody gets hurt at some point in their life. So what we have to decide is how we're going to handle those hurts. Are we going to handle them in such a way that they ultimately harm us? Or are we going to learn how to handle our hurts in such a way that we learn something from them?" - Charles Stanley

"Prayer acknowledges the power of God. When we pray, we are acknowledging that we realize His ability is infinitely greater than our problem. Prayer is an expression of your confidence in His ability to reign and rule over our human affairs." - TDJ

"I want to offer a word of comfort today for those who are suffering, who've had a loss, who are going through something really difficult. Those who are trying to trust God when what's happening in your life just doesn't make any sense. You know, I often say that trust requires that we have some unanswered questions, but I know that sometimes when you want answers really, really bad and there aren't any, that it is difficult. I want to encourage you not to run from God in your pain but run to Him because He is the God of all comfort. God wants to comfort you right now. He wants you to know that He loves you, that it's not too late for you to begin again. God will heal you. He will heal your wounded soul. He will comfort your emotions. God cares so much about you and His grace is available to you right now to help you. You know, many things that we go through, we cannot possibly handle them on our own. But grace enables us. It gives us the power to do what we need to do." - Joyce Meyer

"My prayer is that you will soon experience the fullness of God’s promises in your life. We often limit Him and what He is able to do because our heart dwells in past disappointments. Don’t let what you went through define who you are and what God will ultimately do." - TDJ

This causes me to get emotional every time I read it. It reminds me of those of us who have lost and fear losing again...

“If our greatest need had been information, God would have sent an educator.
If our greatest need had been technology, God would have sent us a scientist.
If our greatest need had been money, God would have sent us an economist.
But since our greatest need was forgiveness, God sent us a Savior.” - Max Lucado

"Don't waste your time trying to change people. If they won't change for God, they ain't gonna change for you." - Joyce Meyer

"Take a load off your body by resting your mind right now. You can do that by reminding yourself that God’s sovereignty is still intact." - TDJ
