Let God have your life, he can do more with it then you can.
I will never turn away anyone who comes to me.

You can give God a thimble, a bucket, or a drum to fill.

God always answers our prayers, changes circumstances or supplies power to overcome.
Do not worry about tomorrow, sufficient for today is its own trouble.

If you are praying for relief & not happening as quickly, God may be leading you to special treasures.

Sometimes the solution & blessing lie in the place we have ignored, right in front of us.

We know God has a position for you using your gifts & personality.

God is personally involved in your life and nudges you to ask for his power to help you.

Praise Him- even before He acts.

Failure doesn't mean God has abandoned you...it does mean God has a better idea!
God's delays are not God's denials.

When you've exhausted all possibilities, remember this: You haven't!
When we try, in his name, to seek forgiveness, God blesses even our mistakes.
