Inspirational Sayings

Trouble is universal. No one escapes it. But what do we do about it? We can worry, panic, be fearful and feel sorry for ourselves, or we can commit our trouble to the Lord, trusting him to take us through it.  ~  Millie Stamm

I know God will not give my anything I can't handle. I just wish he didn't trust me so much.  ~  Mother Teresa

When things go well it is possible to live on the surface for years; but when sorrow comes, such as that experience when a loved one dies, one has to go  deep into the things of life. It is there that we find solace and new strengths. It is there that through the comfort and compassion of God, beauty enters the soul.  ~  Jean Jackson-Swopes

You can spend your whole life grabbing control and never be free - or you can say yes to God without fear, let go into his arms of love, and be set free - finally free - finally "getting it" that God is good.  ~  Sheila Walsh

Inspirational Words

Prayer At The End Of A Messed-Up Day

Take this day, my Father,

This creased and wrinkled day,

This weary, messed-up day,

Its ragged corners cut me yet,

Still I worry and fret!

Father, please do not forget

That I am tired

Of this day.

Breathe your pure breath, watching Father

On this marred day of mine

This tangled-up day of mine!

Wash it white of stain and spot!

Please cleanse its every blot!

All my mistakes, please remember not

Please fix this day of mine!

Elizabeth Stuart Phelps

The Light

Even in the uttermost depths of the darkness,

I see before me your light of hope,

your light of faith,

peaceful,

assurance,

knowing you will perform

what you have spoken.

Inspirational Words

Let Him Carry You

Do not look forward in fear to the changes of life;

Rather look to them with full hope that as they arise,

God, whose very own you are, will lead you safely through all things;

And when you cannot stand it, God will carry you in His arms.

Do not fear what may happen tomorrow;

The same everlasting Father who cares for you today

will take care of you today and every day.

St. Francis De Sales

Inspirational Sayings

I your every human plan and calculation has miscarried, if, one by one, human props have been knocked out, and doors have shut in your face, take heart.
