Sometimes a miracle is a change in material conditions, such as physical healing. At other times, it is a psychological or emotional change.

God's good. He can just pull a life out of a pit, can't He?

Increased spiritual strength is a gift from God which He can give when we push in His service to our limits. Through the power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, our natures can be changed. Then our power to carry burdens can be increased more than enough to compensate for the increased service we will be asked to give.

I really forget that I have no arms or legs sometimes.

I was learning to recognize when God was speaking through someone. He repeats himself. He says it over and over because we are so stubborn, stupid and unwilling. And even scared. Even when he tells us not to be afraid, we set our minds about it, worrying and fretting about every little thing. I was shaken by what God expected us to do.

God will give you courage when you need it.

Better to have trouble with man than trouble with God.
