It may be trite, but being trite doesn’t keep it from being true: inside every problem is a hidden blessing. It’s up to us to find it!
Every problem comes gift wrapped in a package that also contains a creative solution. Your job is to accept both gifts. [Marie T. Freeman]
I surrender, Lord. On my own, I am powerless. But, by your power, all things are possible. Thank you for your gift of grace.
Fill my heart with gratitude, O Lord, and keep my lips from complaint. Fill me with hope and optimism so that I can see the positive in all things.
I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, “Move from here to there,” and it would move. Nothing would be impossible. [Matthew 17:20-21 (NLT)]Lord, give me the confidence to believe that, indeed, all things are possible.
Lord, it takes a leap of faith to believe but it is a leap I want to take!
Faith is not the belief that God will do what you want. It is the belief that God will do what is right.
[Max Lucado, from “He Still Moves Stones”]Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase. [Martin Luther King, Jr.]
It’s not enough just to believe, or even to profess our belief; we must behave as if we believe!
