“If we knew how much the habit of being thankful might do for us, I am sure we would take time out of every day to count up a few of our blessings. When the spirit of thankfulness takes its place in our consciousness, we radiate life from the very center of our being to the world about us” Author unknown

This is so true. How often do we take time to thank God for all the gifts that have been given to us? Life itself is a wonderful gift.

“When you don’t know what to do, which way to turn, or whom to trust…

When you can’t decide whether one action would be better than another…

When you’re anxious and confused and your heart and mind are in conflict…

Don’t forget to pray about it.

Prayer will bring you peace and help you rest your case. It will make you feel better. God has told us not to worry or be afraid. He wants us to cast our cares on Him – so surrendering your problems is really an act of obedience and devotion.

Remember that God is love. He is faithful and He is good.

Pray about everything that concerns you… and know without a doubt that your prayers will be answered.” Donna Fargo

let us remember that God is always with us.

“God said that all things are possible to those who believe. That means everything, anything, all. He didn’t list any exceptions. He doesn’t identify anyone specifically… except those who believe. And he wouldn’t tell us to do something that we weren’t able to do. That wouldn’t be fair, and God is surely fair.

If you’ve been messing around just doing whatever, there’s no better time than now to change. Since God‘s laws don’t change… it’s up to you to get the job done. You don’t even have to understand it all. Believe without the evidence. That’s God’s way. That’s what faith is. And faith gives you the power to achieve anything”

“Remember when you were a child and how easy it was to play pretend? You could get lost in your dreams and suspended in your imagination, and it seemed like you could do anything. You were the main character in your own movies of what you wanted to happen, and you’d go to that wonderland, that place where you were so happy that your dream had actually come true.

You may be grown-up now, but you are still a child of God – so why not believe you have the same power? Except this time, take your dreams to that higher place and declare with certainty: ‘I break the chain of habitual thinking of worst case scenarios based on my physical being. I invite my imagination and God to create the realities I pray for in my life. I will appreciate every blessing and each bit of newfound wisdom that come to me.’ Then state your wants and needs clearly to God, thank Him for giving you the desires of your heart, and absolutely know they’re on the way.” Donna Fargo

“There’s nothing as strong, as dependable, or as accepting – and nothing that can heal as completely – as God‘s love. You don’t need to feel it to take advantage of it; you just need to believe in it, embrace it, share it, and allow it to guide your every thought and action. The love of God is the greatest power of all, and it’s right inside of you.” Barbara Cage

After my Mom died, I remember Easter and how I did not feel like celebrating Jesus resurrection. There was a passage that struck me…that celebrating Jesus risen from the dead was not about an emotion, feeling joyful. It was about love. We do not have to feel joyful to realize that God is in our midst.
