"There are a lot of times that we feel like our hands are tied - I have no control over if Im going to lose my job. I have no control over if Im going to be able to pay my bills. Youve got to realize that thats where your trust comes in. You have to trust God, and keep your hope, because your hope is what produces your faith."

"The pressure you are facing is not going to break you. It’s going to make you."

"Fear is the thief of opportunity! God hasn’t given you a spirit of fear, but He’s given you power, love and a sound mind. Be bold because He is with you!"

"We all have circumstances and times when we may be tempted to complain, but find something to be grateful for instead. Studies show that people who practice gratefulness are happier people!"

"It’s so important that we set the tone for the day. We have to resist the temptation to start off worried, thinking about what’s wrong and all we have to accomplish. Start the day in faith, casting your worries on the Lord, trusting that He’s guiding and directing your steps."

"Let me encourage you, if someone has wronged you, and you still get that cringing feeling on the inside when you see or think about that person, take it to God and allow Him to keep your heart soft and sensitive."
