I can face things that are out of my control and not act out of control.
Lysa TerKeurst
Like a tree, a woman can't carry the weight of two seasons simultaneously. In the violent struggle of trying, she'll miss every bit of joy each season promises to bring.
Lysa TerKeurst
Wisdom makes decisions today that will still be good tomorrow.

How I wish we could all see the cost of our choices as clearly as a price tag on items in a store. If I know how much something is going to cost me, I make much wiser choices. But we have an enemy who schemes against us to keep the cost of dumb decisions concealed until it's too late.
Lysa TerKeurst
The one who obey's God's instruction for today will develop a keen awareness of His direction for tomorrow.

Whatever has you afraid, angry, intimidated or frustrated tonight - take it to our all-powerful and all-capable God. He has the answer.
Lysa TerKeurst
Dear Lord, forgive me for all of the times I've compared myself to others. I know that You have hand-picked all of my qualities. Help me to see these things as beautiful reminders of Your great love in creating me as Your daughter. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Keep your eyes on the Master, because He knows things we do not know!
Lysa TerKeurst
When we have the same thought again, the line of the original thought is deepened, causing what's called a memory trace. With each repetition the trace goes deeper and deeper, forming and embedding a pattern of thought. When an emotion is tied to this thought pattern, the memory trace grows exponentially stronger.
Lysa TerKeurst
The secret to healthy conflict resolution isn't taking a 'you against me' stance. The secret is realizing it's 'us against Satan.' He's the real enemy.
Lysa TerKeurst
Love isn't what I have the opportunity to get from this world. Love is what I have the opportunity to give.
Lysa TerKeurst
Instead of always looking to get fulfillment from my loved ones and the other blessings in my life, I can simply enjoy them for what they are.
Lysa TerKeurst
This morning, you have a choice. You can lay in the dark replaying the awful events of the week, or you can turn the light on and read God's Word-His truth-which is the best thing to do when lies are swarming and painful thoughts are attacking like a bunch of bloodthirsty mosquitoes.
Lysa TerKeurst
Tonight, no matter what you're going through... backtrack and remember all the places where God has been so faithful before in your life. And know. Know with assurance. And boldness. And confidence. He is the same faithful God.
Lysa TerKeurst
Jesus didn't mean this as a sweeping command for everyone who has a lot of money. Jesus meant this for any of us who wallow in whatever abundance we have. I imagine Jesus looked straight into this young man's soul and said, 'I want you to give up the one thing you crave more than me. Then come, follow me.'
Lysa TerKeurst
If I really want an unrushed life, I must underwhelm my schedule so God has room to overwhelm my soul.
