Those who trust in the Lord will renew their strength. Isaiah 40:31

Every now and then a moment of clarity hits us, and we feel known by something—Someone—of inestimable greatness.

God is where He calls us.

In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength. Isaiah 30:15 (NIV)

A big difference exists between trying to manipulate God to give us what we want and cooperating with God so He can give us what He wants. The latter is our goal.

All my knotted-up life I've longed for the sanity and simplicity of knowing who's good and who's bad. I've wanted to know this about myself as much as anyone.

If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to all generously and with- out criticizing, and it will be given to him. James 1:5

Once again today . . . God has a will for your life, Christ has a Word for your life, and the Holy Spirit has a way for your life. Nothing is impossible.

God has a will for your life, Christ has a Word for your life, and the Holy Spirit has a way for your life. Nothing is impossible.

You will keep in perfect peace the mind that is dependent on You, for it is trusting in You. Isaiah 26:3

Blessed is she who has believed that what the Lord has said to her will be accomplished!" (Luke 1:45)
