Why Worry...God Is In Control

 "There is a God in heaven who overrules all things for the best; and this is the comfort of my soul." ~ David Brainerd

 "Sometimes when we read the words of those who have been more than conquerors, we feel almost despondent. I feel that I shall never be like that. But they won through step by step, by little bits of wills, little denials of self, little inward victories, by faithfulness in very little things. They became what they are. No one sees these little hidden steps. They only see the accomplishment, but even so, those small steps were taken. There is no sudden triumph, no spiritual maturity. That is the work of the moment." ~ Amy Carmichael

"But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong." ~2 Corinthians 12:9-10 

When Facing New Situations & You Feel Insufficient

 "God does not need your strength: he has more than enough of power of his own. He asks your weakness: he has none of that himself, and he is longing, therefore, to take your weakness, and use it as the instrument in his own mighty hand. Will you not yield your weakness to him, and receive his strength?" ~ Charles Spurgeon

"But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.'  Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me." - 2 Corinthians 12:9

"In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans." - Romans 8:26

 "But now, O Lord, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you are our potter; we are all the work of  your hand." - Isaiah 64:8

God's Peace be with You!

Has God not answered your prayer yet, or not answered it the way you wished it to have been answered? Fear not, be at peace, & rest in Him, as if all was as right as a glorious summer farm sunset.

                          

"You may fear that the Lord has passed you by, but it is not so: he who counts the stars, and calls them by their names, is in no danger of forgetting his own children. He knows your case as thoroughly as if you were the only creature he ever made, or the only saint he ever loved. Approach him and be at peace." ~ Charles Spurgeon

"Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows." - Matthew 10:29-31

"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." - Matthew 6:34 

"... Thus says the LORD to you, ‘Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed..., for the battle is not yours but God’s." -2 Chronicles 20:15
