Stay Calm

Stay calm; I will get you through this. GOD ~ Inspirational Quotes

God tells us to stay calm, and He will get us through whatever we face. For me, this is easier said than done. I believe God will give me strength and help me, but staying calm is another story.

Right now, a few situations are upsetting me. I tell myself to stay calm and trust God, but my feelings struggle to adjust to what I know is right. I know good and well that if I don't get a grip, my health will suffer.

Our Bible verse says, Commit everything you do to the LORD. Trust Him, and He will help you. Psalm 37:5 NLT

This verse says to commit everything to the LORD, trust Him, and He will help you. Sounds like a good plan to me.

Stay calm; I will get you through this. GOD

God Knows

The same God who tells the sun to rise cares about you. He has counted the number of hairs on your head. You are precious to Him. ~ God Knows Quotes ~

It's hard to comprehend how God, who tells the sun to rise, can actually care about us. God knows everything about us. We are precious to Him.

Our Bible verse says. And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows. Luke 12:7 NLT

God knows exactly how many hairs we have on our heads. How crazy is that? He tells us not to be afraid because we are valuable to Him.

The same God who tells the sun to rise cares about you. He has counted the number of hairs on your head. You are precious to Him.

Don't Take The Bait

Don't take the bait of offense. ~ Don't Take the Bait Quotes ~

The enemy doesn't trap you with something obvious. He uses bait! One of the most deceptive is offense. It only works if you take it.

Our Bible verse says. Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense. Proverbs 19:11 ESV

When we use our good common sense, we will be slow to get mad. When we do, it's much easier to overlook an offense.

Don't take the bait of offense.

God Has A Way

God can and will bring very good things out of very bad things. ~ God Works For Good. Quotes

Yesterday, I watched Caleb Flynn's sentencing. It was amazing to hear Ashley's family forgive Caleb and say, over and over, that God would bring good out of this tragedy.

These people showed what it's like to be a Christian. They made it clear that just because you're a Christian doesn't mean nothing bad will happen. But when it does, God will bring something good out of it.

Our Bible verse says. And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28 NIV

These people knew that in all things God works for good for those who love Him. These people loved God, and they knew God would bring good out of their daughter's death. To me, just giving this testimony in court was evidence of God working good.

God can and will bring very good things out of very bad things.

Pray Bold Prayers

By Kay Heitsch

God honors bold prayers because bold prayers honor God. ~ Pray Bold Prayers Quotes

God is honored when we pray seemingly impossible things as well as seemingly small things. When these impossible things happen, everyone will know they can only be attributed to God.

I've seen this over and over in my own life. My one bold prayer was to ask God to use me. I had no idea how He could or would do that, since I had no qualifications. But He has, and in so doing He has gotten all of the glory as far as I'm concerned.

I had no qualifications, but I started to write inspirational things and put them in a blog for storage. These posts all point people to God. The next thing I knew, people from around the world were reading them. I've posted 3,971 posts, and last month 98,254 people read them. I don't know how they find them. I don't advertise. It is all because of a bold prayer, and God gets the glory for it all.

Our Bible verse says. Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, “Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.” And God granted his request. 1 Chronicles 4:10 NIV

Jabez prayed a bold prayer, and we can do the same.

God honors bold prayers because bold prayers honor God.
