When you come to a dark valley, a difficult season or a sickness, don't worry about it, God will give you the grace and strength you need.
Replace those thoughts of worry with thoughts of hope, faith, and victory.
It takes the same amount of energy to worry as it does to believe.
I don't focus on the critics. Everyone who is making any difference in any field has critics. As long as I feel like I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing, then I don't worry about it.
Quit worrying about how everything is going to turn out. Live one day at a time; better yet, make the most of this moment.
Don’t use your energy to worry. Use your energy to believe.
Quit worrying about people that are trying to hold you back. God knows how to move the wrong people out of your life and bring the right people in. He knows how to prepare you to Break Out.
I never dreamed my book was going to do what it's done, ... Hopefully I'll never have to take a salary from the church again. We plan to be good givers.
You may make some mistakes-but that doesn't make you a sinner. You've got the very nature of God on the inside of you.
I am excited about the opportunity of expanding our outreach with Free Press.
If you want to reap financial blessings, you have to sow financially.
I think faith is incredibly important because you will become overwhelmed with what's happening and you will have waves of grief, but when you turn to your faith, I believe God will give you waves of grace to get through it.
Faith is easy; I think people complicate it.
You have enough people against you... be for yourself.
