Prayer is not a duty that we have. It is a relationship that we have with our heavenly father.

We need to not only listen to God's word, but take action on it. Otherwise, we are only fooling ourselves.

When we are unwilling to forgive someone, the only person that we punish is our self. Forgiveness will set you free.

We are influenced by the voices around us. When the voices of the World are at their loudest, focus on God's voice to guide you.

No matter how tall the mountain or low the valley, God will be there. As long as He is there on our journey, we will be okay.

Read your Bible until you are full. Pray until you are hot. Preach it until you are empty.

Do not judge others and let your righteous pride blind you. Keep a humble heart and love each other the way Jesus loves you.

Focus on your prayer. Put your whole self into your time with God, all of your attention, your mind, your will, and your emotions focused on prayer.

God has a plan for us. We may want to reach our destination and get our blessings without any challenges, however, if we received a blessing before we are ready, it is not a blessing at all. We need to trust in the Lord to guide us through our discouragements.

We get so busy and try to do so much that we exhaust ourselves. When we are exhausted, we can no longer honor God in the way we live our lives. Only God can make our cup overflow and give our soul rest.
