“What I thought was the end of the road was only a sharp turn!”

“When we see change only as a problem or as pain, we have a harder time getting on with our lives. Looking back, we can see other changes we would never have chosen or planned for ourselves. We can see now that we grew with them. Change forced us into new realms; we found sides of ourselves we hadn't known before. My relationship with God proves to be the baseline of my security. Just for today, I’ll remember I’ve been given a stable program and a Higher Power to fall back on. Help me continue to have a lighter grip upon life, so that as the river of change flows, I can flow with it.”

“Very quietly God speaks through your thoughts and feelings. Heed the Divine voice of your conscience. Listen for this and you will never be disappointed in the results in your life. Listen for this small, still voice and your tired nerves will become rested. The Divine voice comes to you as strength as well as tenderness, as power as well as restfulness. Your moral strength derives its effectiveness from the power that comes when you listen patiently for the still, small voice.”
