“You see, fallen man, in his pride, either thinks he has not fallen at all or that he can lift himself up, by himself, and make himself righteous on his own merits.”

“Sometimes our heart focuses on removing the suffering, or we are expecting a miracle. But sometimes the miracle is finding hope in all circumstances.”

“How can our patience stop us from hoping? When you lose hope do you also lose motivation to do the daily tasks? Why is your hope lost? Is it because God has not met your expectation? Has he not answered a prayer? List three prayers He HAS answered recently? What role do these answered prayers play in the unanswered prayers? Are you willing to obey God in all circumstances even if your prayers are not answered?”
