We have not journeyed all this way across the centuries, across the oceans, across the mountains, across the prairies, because we are made of sugar candy.

Do not despair. Do not give up. Look for the sunlight through the clouds.

Rainbows can't rise without storms.

Light on its worst day will conquer darkness on its best day.

Today's storms help you appreciate tomorrow's sunshine.

I want to be free of self-pity. It is a tool of Satan to rot away a life.

As you grow stronger, it may return from time to time, but that is how grief works.

With God's help, your trial today is leading to your wholeness tomorrow.

With the help of the Lord, you can handle life's challenges and heartaches, even the valley of the shadow of death. What comfort your fainting heart has, knowing that in those stumbling times of discouragement and despair, of depletion and seeming defeat, the Shepherd will find you...restore and fix you...and follow you...until you are well on your way.

In the world you will have tribulation.

Trials are not meant to defeat you. They are meant to be defeated.

Enemies make you stronger, allies make you weaker.
