Quotes about Journey

Much, much stress results from your wanting to make things happen before their times have come. One of the main ways I assert My sovereignty is in the timing of events.

Slow down, and enjoy the journey in My Presence.

When you are struggling, simply take the next step and thank Me for clearing the way before you—all the way to heaven.

Relax and enjoy the journey in My Presence, trusting Me to open up the way before you as you go.
