Acceptance Is An Act Of The Heart.

Will You Keep Going When You Don't Know Why? When You Can't Get Any Answers That Would Make The Pain Go Away, Will You Still Say, 'my Lord,' Even Though His Ways Are Not Clear To You? Will You Keep Going-with All The Grace And Grit And Faith You Can Muster-and Live In Hope That One Day God Will Set Everything Right. Will You Trust That God Is Good? ... Ultimately, The Choice Everyone Faces Is The Choice Between Hope And Despair. Jesus Says, 'choose Hope.'

The Goal Of Prayer Is To Live All Of My Life And Speak All Of My Words In The Joyful Awareness Of The Presence Of God. Prayer Becomes Real When We Grasp The Reality And Goodness Of God's Constant Presence With 'the Real Me.' Jesus Lived His Everyday Life In Conscious Awareness Of His Father.

True Joy, As It Turns Out, Comes Only To Those Who Have Devoted Their Lives To Something Greater Than Personal Happiness. This Is Most Visible In Extraordinary Lives, In Saints And Martyrs. But It Is No Less True For Ordinary People Like Us.

Peace Doesn't Come From Finding A Lake With No Storms. It Comes From Having Jesus In The Boat.

Skepticism Can Keep Us From Blessing, Can Keep Us Trapped In Two Minds.
