sometimes in our weakest moments
God is accomplishing the most.
what appears to be a dead end
contains the seeds of
God's
new
beginnings.

the choice to trust God isn't cushioned by deals and promises that everything will turn out the way we think it should.  God's only promise is that He will work all things in our lives for our good and for His glory.

When anxiety was great within me,
your consolation
brought joy to my soul.

O God, it is amazing that men can talk so much
about man's creaturely power and goodness, when,
if Thou didst not hold us back every moment,
we should be devils incarnate.

Wherever you are, be all there. Live to the hilt of every situation you believe to be the will of God.

      and he adds no sorrow with it.

this verse encouraged me 3 years ago when i left for siberia to meet two little boys.  tonight, it encourages me again.  thanks to all of you who will be praying for us this week. 
See, I am sending an angel before you to protect you on your journey and lead you safely to the place I have prepared for you.
Exodus 23:20

God made us: invented us as a man invents an engine.
A car is made to run on gasoline, and it would not run properly on anything else.
Now, God designed the human machine to run on Himself.  He Himself is the fuel our spirits were designed to burn, or the food our spirits were designed to feed on. 
There is no other...God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.
C.S. Lewis - Mere Christianity

this is so good and so true:

The unbelieving mind would not be convinced by any proof,
and the worshiping heart needs none.

the self-sufficient
do not pray.
the self-satisfied
will not pray.
the self-righteous
can not pray.
