humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and in his good time he will honor you. Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you" (1 Peter 5:7).

Don't let your feelings be a God to you.

Being, not Doing, is the first aim of the mystic; and hence should be the first interest of the student of mysticism.

It is soul-satisfying to know that God is mindful of us and ready to respond when we place our trust in Him and do that which is right. There is no place for fear among men and women who place their trust in the Almighty and who do not hesitate to humble themselves in seeking divine guidance through prayer. Though persecutions arise, though reverses come, in prayer we can find reassurance, for God will speak peace to the soul. That peace, that spirit of serenity, is life's greatest blessing

Nothing will drive us to our knees quicker than trouble.

Anxiety and fear are like baby tigers: The more you feed them, the stronger they grow.

Historians will probably call our era "the age of anxiety." Anxiety is the natural result when our hopes are centered in anything short of God and His will for us.

Hypochondriacs who have a fanciful anxiety about their health will never be well regardless of their physical condition.

Is it any wonder that fear and anxiety have become the hallmarks of our age?

Men and women who give [Christ] first place find that there is no need for anxiety about this world's goods.

If we are to depend on prayer during tough times, we should be people of prayer before the crisis hits.

Don't ever hesitate to take to [God] whatever is on your heart. He already knows it anyway, but He doesn't want you to bear its pain or celebrate its joy alone.
