We never know how God will answer our prayers, but we can expect that He will get us involved in His plan for the answer. If we are true intercessors, we must be ready to take part in God’s work on behalf of the people for whom we pray.

And our wise Father in heaven knows when we're going to need things too. Don't run out ahead of Him.

If you want to hear God's voice clearly and you are uncertain, then remain in His presence until He changes this uncertainty. Often much can happen during this waiting for the Lord. Sometimes, He changes pride into humility; doubt into faith and peace; sometimes lust into purity. The Lord can and will do it.

And for all these people alike, the key to healing turned out to be the same. Each had a hurt he had to forgive.

Today I know that such memories are the key not to the past, but to the future. I know that the experiences of our lives, when we let God use them, become the mysterious and perfect preparation for the work He will give us to do.

God never measures the mind... He always put His tape measure in the HEART

Be united with other Christians. A wall with loose bricks is not good. The bricks must be cemented together.

This is what the past is for! Every experience God gives us, every person He puts in our lives is the perfect preparation for the future that only He can see.

Worry is a cycle of inefficient thoughts whirling around a center of fear.

The measure of a life, after all, is not its duration, but its donation.

Child, you have to learn to see things in the right proportions. Learn to see great things great and small things small.

When He tells us to love our enemies He gives, along with the command, the love itself.

In God's faithfulness lies eternal security.

You are redeemed and you are also victorious, over your sins in Jesus.

Do you know what hurts so very much? It's love. Love is the strongest force in the world, and when it is blocked that means pain. There are two things we can do when this happens. We can kill that love so that it stops hurting. But then of course part of us dies, too. Or we can ask God to open up another route for that love to travel.

Hold loosely to the things of this life, so that if God requires them of you, it will be easy to let them go.

If God sends us on strong paths, we are provided strong shoes.

and here I felt a strange leaping of my heart-God did! My job was to simply follow His leading one step at a time, holding every decision up to him in prayer.

When you want to work for God start a committee. When you want to work with God start a prayer group

Forgiveness is setting the prisoner free, only to find out that the prisoner was me.

The devil smiles when we are up to our ears in work, but he trembles when we pray.
