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.

Don't Take The Bait

By Kay Heitsch

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

God Has A Way

By Kay Heitsch

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.

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.

Something Good

Always believe something good is about to happen. ~ Always Believe Quotes ~

How often does our hope in the LORD keep us from despair? We've all been through times when, if we had not believed we would see something good, we would have been depressed.

Take Control

By Kay Heitsch

Control your emotions. Don't let them control you. ~ Emotions Quotes ~

Self-control is strength. Don't allow your emotions to overpower your intelligence. Hold your peace because without it, you have no power.

Help My Unbelief

By Kay Heitsch

Our Bible verse says. Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”

This verse is spoken by a father who half-believes Jesus can heal his son. He wanted to fully believe and asked for help. We can do the same.

Abundant Life

By Kay Heitsch

Paradoxically, abundant life is not found by acquiring more, but by being grateful for what you already have. ~ Living Life Quotes ~

When we are grateful for what we have, we are happy, and we're living the abundant life Jesus died to give us. Always wanting and acquiring more is nothing but a vicious circle.

Our Bible verse says. The thief comes only in order to steal, kill, and destroy. I have come so that you might have life--life in all its fullness. John 1010 GNT

When we are not satisfied with what we have, we are allowing the thief to kill, steal, and destroy the abundant life Jesus died to give us. Always be grateful for the things you already have.

Paradoxically, abundant life is not found by acquiring more, but by being grateful for what you already have.
