Sometimes, I have brief moments when I am reminded of my past mistakes, failures, and poor decisions. I am reminded of people I should not have allowed into my life and other things I should have never done or gotten involved in. Not long ago, I came across these words, and they helped me so much... "God put our sin on his Son and punished it there. Your sins have been placed on Jesus. Jesus receives the blow. And since Christ is between you and God, you don’t. The sin is punished, but you are safe—safe in the shadow of the cross!" - Max Lucado


"The most important thing you can do in the course of a day is to pray. If we get up late or oversleep, which is more important? Rush to work without praying or pray first and then go to work? It's more important to pray. If we get angry, should we act on our anger or should we pray first? It's more important to pray first. If, during the day, we face indecision, what should we do? PRAY. If, during the day, we become irritated or we experience fear, what should we do first? PRAY. The Warrior who prays first will lead a different life from those who pray last." - COR

"All of us will endure difficult circumstances in our lives. No one can completely escape all suffering. But as believers in an all-powerful, loving God, we know that He will take us through these low places to prepare us for ascending new heights." - Charles Stanley


"If you want to find your purpose, find God. If you want to get close to your purpose, get close to God. When you get close to God, you get close to the One who knows the plans He has for you—good plans for a future and a hope." - Tony Evans

"Perseverance is endurance combined with absolute assurance and certainty that what we are looking for is going to happen. If our hopes seem to be experiencing disappointment right now, it simply means that they are being purified. Every hope or dream of the human mind will be fulfilled if it is noble and of God. But one of the greatest stresses in life is the stress of waiting for God. Continue to persevere spiritually." - Oswald Chambers


"Peace is the deliberate adjustment of my life to the will of God."

Last night, I heard a college baseball player say, "You can't control results. You can only control effort."

"Over the years, I've come to a realization – I can rest in the assurance that if something is meant to be, it isn’t up to me. It’s up to God. I give what I can give. And then wait for Him to give what only He can give. So, if He makes it happen without all my chaotic self-effort, then I will know it is His best. And if it doesn’t happen, I will praise Him for saving me from myself." - Lysa TerKeurst

"If you were to stop and think about who you used to be - the things you used to struggle with - you'd get pretty excited about how far God has brought you." - JM
