Even if it seems like you are working and struggling endlessly, your faith in the Lord will keep you strong until there is a way, because one day that way will be made.

Our thoughts have a lot to do with the affairs of our soul.

Faith is a way of looking at the situation through the lens of God, who can handle the situation better than we can.

Faith is like a muscle: the more you use it, the stronger it gets. The more you use it in difficult times, the stronger it gets.

Never let age or any other external factor get in the way of your goals.

God says to give thanks in everything. That doesn’t mean you need to give thanks FOR everything. You don’t need to give thanks FOR that bad day. Or FOR that bad relationship. Or being passed over at work. Financial hardship. Whatever it is – you are not to give thanks FOR the difficulties, but rather IN the difficulties.

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."
