Five prayers for those who wait:
1. Strengthen me to wait patiently.
2. Awaken me to today.
3. Keep me from foolish shortcuts.
4. Make me want the future you have for me.
5. Remind me of what I’m really waiting for: the return of Christ.
“Prosperity knits a man to the world. He feels that he is finding his place in it, while really it is finding its place in him.”

The Screwtape Letters
"The man who has struggled to purify himself and has had nothing but repeated failures will experience real relief when he stops tinkering with his soul and looks away to the Perfect One." AW Tozer #tozer
Piper: “Don’t measure God’s love for you by how much health, wealth, and comfort he brings into your life. Measure God’s love for you by how much of himself he shows you. Measure God’s love for you by how much of himself he gives you to know and enjoy.” https://t.co/7o28TTwVER
"The Christian not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us; just as the roof of a greenhouse does not attract the sun because it is bright, but becomes bright because the sun shines on it.”

"For God is not merely mending, not simply restoring a status quo. Redeemed humanity is to be something more glorious than unfallen humanity."

When Christians experience the dark night of the soul, it’s like being dropped in the middle of the ocean during a thunderstorm. But when we trust in Jesus, who calms the seas, the sun will surely rise with the morning. https://t.co/enYGNjQ64C
Anxiety blinds us to reality, and deafens us to God’s voice. No matter how anxious you’re feeling today, God promises to provide ever-arriving waves of grace.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken:
The crownless again shall be king.
