Four Ways God Answers Prayer

If the request is wrong,
God says, No.

If the timing is wrong,
God says, Slow.

If you are wrong,
God says, Grow.

But if the request is right,
the timing is right,
and you are right,
God says, Go.

Think

If you think you are beaten, you are,
If you think you dare not, you don't.
If you like to win, but you think you can't,
It is almost certain you won't.

If you think you'll lose, you're lost.
For out of the world we find,
Success begins with a fellow's will,
It's all in the state of mind.

If you think you are outclassed, you are.
You've got to think high to rise,
You've got to be sure of yourself before,
You can ever win a prize.

Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But sooner or later the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can!

Put the Bible in Your Heart

~ Study It with Heart ~

Approach Scripture with enthusiasm! The psalmist describes the anticipation of learning God's precepts this way: "How sweet are Your Words to my taste! Yes, sweeter than honey to my mouth!" (Psalm 119:103, NASB)

~ Take It to Heart ~

I have lived long enough to realize that I desperately need truth in my life. By now, I've gotten just enough intelligence to be dangerous. I've gotten just enough man's wisdom to know it isn't trustworthy. I need His yes and no, His light to expose my darkness, His precepts to steel my convictions. His Word provides all that.

~ Learn It by Heart ~

Tradition tells us that the Jewish mothers of the first century taught their children to pray, "Into Your hands I commit my spirit" (Psalm 31:5). During Jesus' last hour on the cross, He repeated the same Scripture, most likely having memorized it as child at Mary's knee. I don't know of any discipline that will transform thoughts better than memorizing the Word. How urgently we need truth riveted to our hearts.
