People struggle with life when they don’t have answers. The darkest valleys are blackened by the shadow of question marks. So what do you do? Ephesians 6:18 (MSG) says, “Pray hard and long.” maxlucado.com/listen/uninter…

A steady diet of critical, negative, ungrateful thoughts leaves us critical, negative, and ungrateful. Try the opposite: Find something positive in everything you see. Make a list of all the kind, generous, and grateful thoughts that come into your mind. maxlucado.com/listen/a-postu…

The recurring theme of the Bible is the incarnation of Jesus Christ. The prophets wrote of it, the psalmists sang of it, the apostles rejoiced & built their hopes on it, & the epistles are filled with it. - Billy Graham

Worldly wisdom: Waiting is an evil to eliminate. Godly wisdom: Waiting is a virtue to cultivate. Christianity is, by definition, a religion of delayed gratification. How we wait will mark us as sojourners and strangers in an instant gratification world.

The difference between an opportunity and an obstacle is your attitude. Your faith has to be greater than your fear.

Here’s the most freeing thing I’ve learned… Be you & don’t care.😊 Yes, be biblical, godly, honorable, & not a moron. But don’t let insecurity, fear, or “the crowd” keep you from being the unique person you were created to be. Trust the Lord. Have fun (or not?) And be you.

What eases anxiety, worry, & fear? A deep abiding trust in Jesus. Your greatest need might not be an answer TO your situation, but a deep abiding trust in Jesus IN your situation. Prayer then becomes your comfort, your peace, & your power. Abide in Christ today.
