“What consumes your mind controls your life. Today, try asking God to free you from anxious thoughts and to remind you of all that is commendable and good while keeping your heart fixed on Jesus—not just during prayer time, but all day long.”

“A Prayer Our Father, you are the strength of your people, and we ask now that you would heal the brokenhearted among us and bind up their wounds. We ask that you would grant to them and to all else the vision of that life in which all tears are wiped away and all shadows have fled away. Raise us up in your Spirit’s power now to follow you in hope and trust, and give us your loving power to protect us, your wise power to nurture us, your beauty to enrapture us, your peace to fulfill us, and lift up our hearts in the light and love of your presence. And we ask in the name of the one who is the Resurrection and the Life, Jesus Christ. Amen.”
― Timothy J. Keller, On Death

“The whole point of this book is that condemnation is not in His heart. As stated earlier, “God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked” (Ezek. 18:23).”

“God wants interdependence from us, not self-reliance . He puts us in a place of risk-taking so that we will connect to— and stay connected to—Him.”
