Negative thoughts about ourselves can be debilitating and discouraging

While it isn’t wrong to feel angry, God can give us the power to handle this emotion in a spiritual and helpful way.
The heart is powerful enough to determine the course of our lives: what we feel, what we say, and what we do.
One of the many great things about having a personal friendship with God is that he satisfies.
God doesn’t want any of us to go through storms alone.
