God sees strengths in us that we fail to recognize. Perhaps we need to ask the Lord to help us view ourselves as He does.
We’re faced with a choice. We can camp our thoughts on lies or we can secure them on truth. Our choice influences our behaviors and determines our destiny.
The thoughts we habitually think shape our beliefs. Our beliefs influence our behaviors. And our behaviors determine our outcome or destiny.
When the stress of uncertainty gets to you, go back to these five truths. Hide them in your heart, speak them aloud, and ask God to give you deeper insights.
We moved into a teeny tiny house when I was in fourth grade. The only place for the bird cage was atop the fridge. We mistakenly believed it was safe there.
Jesus, Prince of Peace, came into our world so He could live in us. His power at work within us ought to help us worship, rather than worry.
Even though I wrote a book about moving beyond fear, I still struggle with it occasionally. Thankfully, it doesn’t consume or paralyze me anymore.
I routinely meet women who express fear for their family’s well-being. I’ve been there, done that. And I continue to face it even though my kids are now adults.
I cling to the truth that no matter what happens to me, I’m a victor because God is the king of my life. No harm touches me unless He allows it.
This weekend provided a perfect opportunity for me to learn gratitude. The lesson came through a lost suitcase at O’Hare’s airport.
I feel afraid of shadows sometimes. They often come in the form of the “what-ifs. What shadows frighten you? Here’s reassurance to help overcome that fear.
Fear is rampant but it needn’t paralyze us. Here’s how we can move from fear to freedom.
How can we be truly radiant without spending billions on skin care products and the like?
I ask God for wisdom, for strength, and for courage. And He answers when I focus my thoughts on Him and His promises rather than on the stuff that unnerves me.
You work. You wait. You pray. Meanwhile, God is working behind the scenes, orchestrating every detail to bring His purposes into being
Why did the driver drop us at the train station prior to the one our directions stated? Because Iwona was working there, and God is drawing her to Himself.
Women around the world share many similarities. One of them is the ability to make a soul connection in a short time.
He’s the creator of heaven and earth! This amazing God–the one for whom nothing is impossible–He’s the one who is for you! Why, then, should we fear?
No matter what circumstances you and I face–and I guarantee we will face tough stuff–we can rest assured that the Lord will care for us.
When God gives an assignment, our tendency is to say, “Who, me? I can’t do that.” Fear looms, and we offer excuses such as, “I’m not smart enough.”
How can we muster courage in the face of fear? By remembering that, no matter what happens to us, we are victors because God is the king of our lives.
In January 2008, I flew to Florida and Indiana for two television interviews. In all my life, I’ve never played such a game of “Good News, Bad News.”
Champions one minute. Losers the next. What a ride! How can we prevent or lessen the emotional ups and downs?
How much does God love us? We can’t even begin to count the ways! His devotion to us supersedes anything our minds can comprehend.
I remember when I first sensed God nudging me to write this book. My human logic scoffed: “Who, me? You want me to do what? Are you kidding? I can’t do that.”

Once upon a time, I raced to protect my kids from danger. If they fell and scraped a knee, I could give them a kiss and fix the owie. Now I can’t do that.
I say, “The Lord is with me. I will trust and not be afraid.” Repeating this aloud several times works for me. It reminds me that God is in control.
My thoughts are tempted to flit from here to there and everywhere – wondering why marketing efforts didn’t produce more, wondering what more I could have done.
I never want to slip back into comfortable North American complacency, content with having my needs met and forgetting about those who struggle to survive.
