    And we are so used to spiritually mediocre days -- days lived in irritation and fear and self-preoccupations and frenzy -- that we throw our lives away in a hurry...Take a deep breath. Put your cell phone away. Let your heart slow down. Let God take care of the world.

    God is never a God of discouragement. When you have a discouraging spirit or train of thought in your mind, you can be sure it is not from God. He sometimes brings pain to his children-conviction over sin, or repentance over fallenness, or challenges that scare us, or visions of his holiness that overwhelm us. But God never brings discouragement.

    Pero isang malaking tulong sa faith at prayer ang ma-realize na kapag walang paggabay mula sa langit kapag gumagawa ng desisyon, hindi ito nangangahulugan na ang Diyos o ikaw ay nabigo. Kadalasan, kabaligtaran ito - alam ng Diyos na mas lalago ka sa paggawa ng desisyon kaysa sa pagtanggap lang ng memo mula sa langit.
