“In my relationship with God, I've learned that if I follow a 'formula' for how I spend my time with Him, then I'm just accomplishing a checklist of things I feel obligated to do to please Him. This makes my spiritual life more about doing what I need to do to fulfill an obligation than something meaningful.”

“Turn your situation over to God because He can do more in a moment than you can do in a lifetime. – Joyce Meyer”

“Spending time with God is the key to our strength and success in all areas of life. Be sure that you never try to work God into your schedule, but always work your schedule around Him.”

“We're not like robots. God promises to guide us through the Holy Spirit, but He gives us the freedom to make our own decisions.”

“Each time we cooperate with God, we take one more giant step forward. Because when God asks us to change, it means that He always has something better to give us - more freedom, greater joy, and greater blessings.”

“Getting stress out of your life takes more than prayer alone. You must take action to make changes and stop doing whatever is causing the stress. You can learn to calm down in the way you handle things.”

“Good intentions never change anything. They only become a deeper and deeper rut.”

“Change is always tough. Even for those who see themselves as agents of change, the process of starting a new thing can cause times of disorientation, uncertainty and insecurity.”

“Words are powerful; if you change your words, you can change your life.”

“So many people live with anger and unforgiveness, and many of them are Christians.”

“I wonder how many times people give up just before a breakthrough - when they are on the very brink of success.”
