61 " Lord, I hate being lulled into passivity and staying trapped when You are calling me to action. I will take responsibility for my life today and start turning my wishes into reality. Amen. "
― Joyce Meyer , The Confident Woman Devotional: 365 Daily Inspirations
62 " Lord, if Hezekiah could learn to lean upon and be confident in You, I know that it’s also possible for me. Enable me to focus on developing and maximizing my strengths rather than concentrating on my weaknesses. Amen. "
63 " Take a minute to stop and look closely at the reasons you are doing the things you currently do. If any of them are being done out of fear, then eliminate them. You will be amazed at how much time you may have if you have a Spirit-led schedule rather than a people-driven one. "
64 " Notice there’s nothing provided to protect our backside! That’s because God never intended us to run from our enemies. His plan was and still is that, with Him at our side, we confront any issue in our life that is a problem. People are so skilled at not facing real issues, and they’re even better at trying to cover them up by living make-believe lives and inventing false personalities. It is time to take a stand and confront fear! "
65 " So please remember that when discouragement comes from any source, it isn’t God sending it your way! Immediately reject it, and if you have no other source of encouragement, do what David did. The Bible says that he encouraged himself in the Lord. When you feel yourself starting to lose courage, talk to yourself! Tell yourself that you have made it through difficulties in the past and you will make it again. Remind yourself of past victories. Make a list of your blessings and read them out loud anytime you feel yourself starting to sink emotionally. "
66 " Lack of knowledge causes fear, and knowledge removes it. "
67 " When we fear we will suffer, we already suffer the things we fear. "
68 " How many times do we ask God to give us something, and after He gives it to us, we start complaining because we have to take care of it? This kind of wilderness mentality keeps us living in the wilderness when we could be living in the Promised Land. "
69 " Victory is not the absence of problems; it is the presence of God's power. "
70 " Not only must we ask God for things He has promised us but we must receive them (John 16:24). "
71 " If you will do what you can do, God will do what you cannot do. "
