Our prayers may be awkward. Our attempts may be feeble. But since the power of prayer is in the One who hears it and not in the one who says it, our prayers do make a difference.

God loves you just the way you are, but he refuses to leave you that way.

---

There is a difference between grace and mercy. Mercy is the decision of God not to punish us. But grace is the decision of God to save and bless us.

Our Savior kneels down and gazes upon the darkest acts of our lives. But rather than recoil in horror, he reaches out in kindness and says, "I can clean that if you want." And from the basin of his grace, he scoops a palm full of mercy and washes away our sin.

God is God. He knows what he is doing. When you can’t trace his hand, trust his heart.

---

God never said that the journey would be easy, but He did say that the arrival would be worthwhile.

---

Here's what you need to keep in mind. You no longer have yesterday. You do not yet have tomorrow. You have only today. This is the day the Lord has made. Live in it.

---

Gratitude lifts our eyes off the things we lack so we might see the blessings we possess.

---

A woman's heart should be so hidden in God that a man has to seek Him just to find her.

---

No one can pray and worry at the same time. When we worry, we aren't praying. When we pray, we aren't worrying.
