“God grants us not always what we ask so as to bestow something preferable.”

“Prayer is the key that opens heaven; the favors we ask descend upon us the very instant our prayers ascend to God.”

“The reason to forgive ourselves is not because we feel like it or because we want to see ourselves as blameless but because we limit what we can receive from God when we hold on to our past. He wants to do so much more than we could ever imagine. Forgiving yourself starts with believing in God’s incredible love for you and accepting His amazing grace and mercy. If God Almighty can forgive us who are we to hold on to what He has not only forgiven but forgotten”

“God is always trying to give good things to us, but our hands are too full to receive them.”

“We will never move out of the present and into the future with all God has planned for us if we cling to dwell in the past.”

“Always add, always walk, always proceed; neither stand still, nor go back, nor deviate; he that standeth still proceedeth not; he goeth back that continueth not; he deviateth that revolteth; he goeth better that creepeth in his way than he that moveth out of his way.”

“You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you.”
