When our relationship with him is close, courage comes naturally because we trust God to protect us
Negative thoughts about ourselves can be debilitating and discouraging
God's thoughts are higher than and completely different from ours
God will give us a new heart, a new way of thinking, and new strength to move forward
When we’re truly grateful for God, our lives will change in ways we could never imagine
The heart is powerful enough to determine the course of our lives: what we feel, what we say, and what we do.
God commands us not to give into our fear and reminds us that he will never fail us.
We need to acknowledge what is wearing us out, especially the ways in which we become focused on rules and behaviors.
