21 " A happy saint is one who is at the same time aware of the severity of sin and the immensity of grace. "
― Max Lucado , Anxious for Nothing: Finding Calm in a Chaotic World
22 " When a father leads his four-year-old son down a crowded street, he takes him by the hand and says, “Hold on to me.” He doesn’t say, “Memorize the map” or “Take your chances dodging the traffic” or “Let’s see if you can find your way home.” The good father gives the child one responsibility: “Hold on to my hand. "
23 " The secret is that the flyer does nothing and the catcher does everything. When I fly to Joe (my catcher), I have simply to stretch out my arms and hands and wait for him to catch me and pull me safely over the apron... The worst thing the flyer can do is try to catch the catcher. I am not supposed to catch Joe. It's Joe's task to catch me. If I grabbed Joe's wrists, I might break them, or he might break mine, and that would be the end for both of us. A flyer must fly, and a catcher must catch, and the flyer must trust, with outstretched arms, that his catcher will be there for him. "

32 " La oración requiere disciplina y dedicación. Exige un esfuerzo para separar el tiempo y necesitas creer en ella para que seas constante. Si no creemos que Dios nos esté escuchando o que se preocupa realmente por nosotros, nuestra decisión de orar desvanecerá rápidamente. "
33 " «Así que humíllense ante el gran poder de Dios y, a su debido tiempo, él los levantará con honor. Pongan todas sus preocupaciones y ansiedades en las manos de Dios, porque él cuida de ustedes». (1 Pedro 5.6, 7 NTV) "
34 " What keeps you from fully believing that God is a good Father who cares for every detail of your life? "

36 " This kind of peace is not a human achievement. It is a gift from above. “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid” (John 14:27 NIV). "
37 " What is the cause of our anxiety? Change, for one thing. Researchers speculate that the Western world’s “environment and social order have changed more in the last thirty years than they have in the previous three hundred”!9 Think what has changed. Technology. The existence of the Internet. Increased warnings about global warming, nuclear war, and terrorist attacks. Changes and new threats are imported into our lives every few seconds thanks to smartphones, TVs, and computer screens. In our grandparents’ generation news of an earthquake in Nepal would reach around the world some days later. "
