We need to remember that when we pray, “Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory,” we are not making a recitation-it is a proclamation. “Lord, I’m surrendering the timing to You and letting You drive the bus. I may not know the stops You need to make, but I am going to sit here and praise You until we reach the place where my answer steps on board!” – Jack Hayford
Sometimes faith seems like a denial of reality, but that is because we are holding on to a reality that is more real than the reality we can perceive with our five senses. ~ Mark Batterson
Whenever you feel overwhelmed by what you’re carrying, go before God in praise and worship and He’ll take your burden away.
When you can’t take another step—or feel you can’t do what you need to do—it’s probably because you’re trying to do it in your own strength.
As you worship and praise God, He will strengthen you. And you’ll have not only a greater sense your dependency on Him, but also His power to lift you up. – Stormie Omartian
When we have done all we can, we must still wait for God to accomplish His purposes. As we wait, we can fix our eyes on Jesus as a companion who empathizes with our suffering and a Savior who is working behind the scenes. Difficult circumstances seem to increase our ability to experience intimacy with Christ. ~ Ruthann Ridley
“Faith does not eliminate questions. But faith knows where to take them.” —Elisabeth Elliot
