Always pray.
It's the most powerful tool against worry, doubt and fear.
Whom will you serve? Yeshua (Jesus) is Christ, the only true Living God, the Lord God Almighty, Lord of lords, King of kings, my Savior, and my Faithful Friend. If you do not have a personal relationship with HIM, I encourage doing so. God is awesome and HE loves YOU.
Always pray.
It's the most powerful tool against worry, doubt and fear.
Doctrine is the framework of life; it is the skeleton of truth, to be clothed and rounded out by the living graces of a holy life.
If I had not felt certain that every additional trial was ordered by infinite love and mercy, I could not have survived my accumulated sufferings.
A mightier love for the Son of God, to overpower and subdue and lead captive these wayward and truant affections of the heart this is what is needed.
O slow of heart to believe and trust in the constant presence and overruling agency of our almighty Savior!
In spite of sorrow, loss and pain our course is onward still!
Sorrow is only one of the lower notes in the oratorio of our blessedness.
Our prayers run along one road and God's answers by another road; and by and by they meet. God answers all true prayer, either in kind or in kindness.
I beg you, not to rest contented with the commonplace religion that is now so prevalent.
Thanks be to God, not only for rivers of endless joys above but for rills of comfort here below.
There is no success without sacrifice. If you succeed without sacrifice it is because someone has suffered before you. If you sacrifice without success, it is because someone will succeed after you.
"Nothing is impossible," said one of the seven sages of Greece, "to industry." Let us change the word, 'industry,' to 'persevering prayer' and the motto will be more Christian and more worthy of universal adoption. God loves importunate prayer so much that He will not give us much blessing without it.
Love to Jesus is a sure title to the greatest possible happiness; for Jesus is omnipotent and has determined to make his friends happy, and surely will not forget a single one in whose heart is enkindled one spark of love.
We cannot sit still and see the dear Burmans, flesh and blood like us and, like ourselves, possessed of immortal souls that will shine forever in Heaven or burn forever in Hell, we cannot see them go down to perdition without doing our very utmost to save them. And thanks be to God, our labors are not in vain.
[Adoniram Judson]

There are many ways to get into Hell.
"For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it." Matthew 7:131. Read the Bible with an earnest desire to understand it. Do not be content to just read the words of Scripture. Seek to grasp the message they contain.
2. Read the Scriptures with a simple, childlike faith and humility. Believe what God reveals. Our reason must bow to God's revelation.
3. Read the Word with a spirit of obedience and self-application. Apply what God says to yourself and obey His will in all things.
4. Read the Holy Scriptures every day. We quickly lose the nourishment and strength of yesterday's food. We must feed our souls daily upon the manna God has given to us.
5. Read the whole Bible and read it in an orderly way. "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable." (2 Timothy 3:16) I know of no better way to read the Bible than to start at the beginning and read straight through to the end, a portion every day, comparing Scripture with Scripture.
6. Read the Word of God fairly and honestly. As a general rule, any passage of Scripture means what it appears to mean. Interpret every passage in this simple manner, in its context.
7. Read the Scriptures prayerfully, ever asking the Holy Spirit to illumine the Word. "Then He opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures." (Luke 24:45) "Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law." (Psalm 119:18)
8. Read the Bible with Christ constantly in view. The whole Book is about Him. Look for Him on every page. He is there. If you fail to see Him there, you need to read that page again.
