I am not worried about what tomorrow brings because I know my God is already there. He is already working all things out for good on my behalf. He is preparing the way and guiding my steps. God’s provision and favor is upon my life!
Trust
Doug Weiss
Trust is lost in buckets and earned back in drops. It only takes one act of betrayal, one lie, or one relapse for you to lose trust with someone. Rebuilding trust is possible. You must honor, be respectful and be patient of the time it takes to earn back the trust you broke.
Francis A. Schaeffer
Our trusting the Lord does not mean that there are not times of tears. I think it is a mistake as Christians to act as though trusting the Lord and tears are not compatible.
Sadhu Sundar Singh
The human spirit abides in the body very much as the chicken in the shell. If it were possible for the bird within the shell to be told that outside of it was a great widespread world, with all kinds of fruit and flowers, with rivers and grand mountains, that its mother also was there, and that it would see all this when set free from its shell, it could not understand or believe it… In the same way, many are uncertain about the future life and the existence of God because they cannot see beyond this shell-like body of flesh, and their thoughts, like delicate wings, cannot carry them beyond the narrow confines of the brain. Their weak eyes cannot discover those eternal and unfading treasures which God has prepared for those who love Him.

Peace isn’t a place to arrive at but a person to abide in.
James Goll
Our prayers should be simple—there is no need to instruct the Father. This lack of complexity should be just as true for our minor personal requests as for sweeping global needs. In both cases, we are echoing the prayer of Jesus, “Your Kingdom come on earth as it is currently being manifested in heaven” (see Matt. 6:10). We do not need to tell Him how to handle everything. He is God; He knows already. We just need to present the needs to Him.

Making resolutions to spend more time praying will not prove lastingly effective unless there is a measure of trust or faith that God is nearby and is actively listening.
Dana Candler
The truth is that we were made to abandon ourselves, made to give all in love without compromise. Innate in our makeup is dissatisfaction with half-heartedness and a yearning to love and be loved to the uttermost. It is the highest way to live, the most pleasurable and freeing existence for the human heart. The frustration we experience in apathy and the discontent we face in partiality it’s not something within us gone awry but rather a cry lifting its voice that is holy and God-given. We were created with this groan for wholeheartedness because God himself is wholehearted.
G. Campbell Morgan
The man who measures things by the circumstances of the hour is filled with fear; the man who sees Jehovah enthroned and governing has no panic.
Paul Bane
When the world is falling apart around you, understand you have no power to hold it together. The only power you have is letting go and releasing the chaos of your life into the loving hands of Christ to carry you through it.
