"What do we do with disappointment? What do we do with defeat? The same thing every successful person has ever done: We wipe off our sweat, toss our worn and tattered jerseys in the wash, and we move on." - Tony Evans

When God gets us alone through suffering, heartbreak, temptation, disappointment, sickness, or by thwarted desires, a broken friendship--when He gets us absolutely alone, and we are totally speechless, unable to ask even one question, then He begins to teach us." - Oswald Chambers

"The next time you think you can't make it, can't get over it, can't work with it, can't do without it, remember...but God."

"Don't waste another minute trying to figure out why certain evil things happen to you and your loved ones. You may never know the answer, but don't use that as an excuse to wallow in self-pity. Leave it alone, and move on in your life. Trust GOD, and accept the fact there will be some unanswered questions in your life. Just because you don't know the answer, it does not mean one does not exist.
Each of us should have what I call an "I don't understand it" file. When something comes up, in which you have no reasonable answer, instead of dwelling on the "why," simply place it in this file and walk away from the emotional bondage in which you have been living." - TDJ

"There are times in your spiritual life when there is confusion, and the way out of it is not simply to say that you should not be confused. It is not a matter of right and wrong, but a matter of God taking you through a way that you temporarily do not understand. Hang on to the fact that He will ultimately give you clear understanding. Stand firm in faith, believing that what Jesus said is true. God has bigger issues at stake than the particular things you are asking of Him right now." - Oswald Chambers

"Have you ever been knocked down to your knees and everyone thought you were over, and just when they put a period, God put a comma...and all of a sudden...there you were back again?" - TDJ




"Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you cannot understand at the time. 'I don't know why God allows what He does, but I will stick to my faith in His character no matter how contradictory things look.' Faith is not a conscious thing; it springs from a personal relationship and is the unconscious result of believing someone." - Oswald Chambers

"If you feel something strongly in your heart, you've prayed about it and it goes along with Scripture, then follow your heart. If you feel led to make a decision that others don't like, you shouldn't have to give an unreasonable amount of explanation for what you feel led to do. Maybe you don't know why—you just sense that's just what you're supposed to do. God has a plan, and you are part of that plan, but you won't live it if you live with the fear of man. What do you think God is saying to you? What are you sensing from God? Ultimately, you need to take responsibility for making the decision that brings peace to your heart. If you make a mistake, it's not the end of the world. But being true to what God has put on your heart is the key to your happiness." - JM

"Can I share a secret with you, precious one? Your worth and purpose do not depend on what you have done, or what has been done to you or where you have been, even if you have been to the precipice of hell. Your worth and purpose depend on God and God alone— His will, His calling, His choosing, His love. Read Ephesians 1:4-5." - Kay Arthur

"Why would you be weeping and worrying over one step in the whole topography of your life? You can’t judge your life by where you are in this moment. Do you not know that where you are will pass? What you’re worried about will pass? Don’t you understand that, one day, you’ll look back and laugh at the thing that kept you up all night? Don’t you understand that it’s not nearly as major as you thought it was?" - TDJ
