Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength. ~
Corrie ten Boom
Dr. Charles Mayo of the Mayo Clinic said, “Worry affects circulation, the heart, the glands, the whole nervous system, and profoundly affects the heart. I have never known a man who died from overwork, but many who died from doubt.”
The Mayo Clinic actually estimates that more than 80 percent of their total caseload is directly related to worry on the part of their patients and noted that “52 percent of the people in the hospital could get up and leave if they could rid themselves of fear, worry, and frustration.”
Anyone who wishes to check on his true spiritual condition may do so by noting what his voluntary thoughts have been over the last hours or days ... The best way to control our thoughts is to offer the mind to God in complete surrender.

“He who obeys the command 'rejoice in the Lord,' has a hallelujah in his soul every minute of the day and night.” —
A. C. Dixon (1854-1925)
“God does not reveal His will to those who are curious. He reveals His will to those who are obedient. God guides those who are concerned about His glory.” ―

Christian contentment is that sweet, inward, quiet, gracious frame of spirit, which freely submits to and delights in God’s wise and fatherly disposal in every condition.
~Jeremiah Burroughs~
“Praise is God's sunlight in the heart. It destroys sin germs. It ripens the fruits of the Spirit. It is the oil of gladness that lubricates life's activities. There can be no holy life without it. It keeps the heart pure and the eye clear. Praise is essential to the knowledge of God and His will.” —

God is still writing your story.
Quit trying to steal the pen.
Trust Him.
His ways are always better.

We live in a day in which false doctrine abounds on every hand and the only Christian who is safe from being led into error is the one who studies his Bible for himself daily.
R.A. Torrey
When a person truly lives by the grace of God, righteousness results, not ungodliness. As a person increasingly learns to draw upon God's grace for daily living, Christlikeness develops, not worldliness. As grace becomes our resource for life, sin diminishes; it does not increase. "For sin shall not have dominion over you: for you are not under law but under grace" (Romans 6:14).
The Holy Spirit never offers shortcuts in sanctification.

When you get to Heaven and stand before the Lord…
All wrong will be made right, all loss will be restored and you’ll then see the answers to the questions that you asked on earth

Christ is the bread of life,
Without Him we’re hungry.
Christ is the light of the world,
Without Him, we’re in darkness.
Christ is the good shepherd,
Without Him, we’re lost.
Christ is the true vine,
Without Him, we’re withered.
Dustin Benge
If you’re questioning the love that God has for you, take your eyes off of your circumstances and focus them on the Cross!
Jesus forever proved His love for you on the Cross!

The very first step to becoming a follower of Jesus Christ is the humble admission that we need him. Nothing keeps us out of the kingdom of God more surely than our pride and self-sufficiency.

If life is a marathon, many of us are comparing our first mile to someone else’s twenty-sixth. Our hearts and bodies suffer self-inflicted wounds when we do this.

When a man becomes a Christian, he becomes industrious, trustworthy, and prosperous. Now, if that man when he gets all he can and saves all he can does not give all he can, I have more hope for Judas Iscariot than for that man!
~John Wesley~
Worry is an indication that we think God cannot take care of us.
~Oswald Chambers~
Moments of darkness in our lives may be caused by the death of a loved one, the loss of a job or a home, or another great tragedy of life. Yet there is a greater darkness than these tragedies: the darkness in the eyes of one who has not felt God’s love, grace, and the assurance of His hope.

A budget is telling your money where to go instead of wondering where it went.
~John Maxwell~
“The storm was raging. The sea was beating against the rocks in huge, dashing waves. The lightning flashed, the thunder roared, the wind blew; but the little bird was sound asleep in the crevice of the rock, its head tucked serenely under its wing. That is peace: to be able to sleep in the storm! In Christ we are relaxed and at peace in the midst of confusions, bewilderments, and perplexities of this life. The storm rages, but our hearts are at rest. We have found peace—at last!”
—Billy Graham
