The decisions we make dictate the schedules we keep. The schedules we keep determine the lives we live. The lives we live determine how we spend our souls. So, this isn't just about finding time. This is about honoring God with the time we have.

Weakness is hard, but it doesn't have to mean defeat. It's our opportunity to experience God's power firsthand.

Conflict tip: What comes out of someone else's mouth is a reflection of their heart ... not yours.
Lysa TerKeurst
When to give grace? I'd rather stand before God knowing I loved others too much rather than regretting that I judged too harshly.
Lysa TerKeurst
No matter your age, stage of life, or circumstances, don't forget to dare to dream with God. You don't have to figure anything out. Just keep saying yes to Him, in big ways and small, and watch what He does.
Lysa TerKeurst
The only true satisfaction we can seek is the satisfaction of being obedient to the Lord.

Satan wants anxiety to hinder us from becoming effective servants of Christ.
Lysa TerKeurst
If you desire to please God with the decision you make and afterward it proves to be a mistake, it’s an error not an end.
Lysa TerKeurst
So often, we want big directional signs from God. God just wants us to pay attention. But we need to leave enough space in our days to get up from our prayers and actually look for God in the moment-to-moment things that happen.
Lysa TerKeurst
As I make goals for this year... Jesus, let your thoughts become my thoughts and bend my will to Your will.
