I can only imagine how happy life would be if we could stay so grounded in our faith that we would never waver in our positive attitudes.

Worrying cannot change a thing, but faith can change everything.

I have learned in my journey of faith that, the closer I am walking with God, the more likely the devil will be working to make me stumble.

Hannah's faith was the answer to her stress. And, through that faith, she found peace, even though her life remained far from peaceful. Her faith resulted in God working on her behalf. Hannah did not find peace because she left a stressful situation – she found peace because she had learned to depend on God’s strength to rise above her stress.

Sometimes, we just have to have enough faith to practice patience and not let our impatience morph into doubt.

What we view as God’s absence or lack of quickness to change our circumstances or fix our problems is really God waiting for the proper time to act on our behalf, while simultaneously waiting for us to acknowledge our need for rescue.

Unbelief puts our circumstances between us and God; faith puts God between us and our circumstances.
