peace can be found in unlikely places.

Even in the darkest storms peace can be found by those who seek it. When turmoil and tension tear at your heart, pray for peace and most often you'll find peace in prayer. Of course there is no need to wait for a storm, pray for peace right now.

you can get through a bad day.

When you're having a bad day, you have a choice. You can complain and gripe and dwell on the misery, or you can let go of it and look for the good, and maybe, just maybe, even laugh about it.

it's good to remember.

Think about the times that you felt close to God, when love and joy pulsed through your veins. Dwell on these times, especially when life isn't easy and trouble seems to compete for your attention. Any situation can be improved if you remember to remember God.

you always have one last resort.

When nothing else works, surrender to God, and let your faith carry you through.

acceptance brings peace.

Accept your own beauty and your limitations. No sense in trying to be who you are not.

you need to maintain a balance between your needs and others' needs.

Yes, it's not an easy balance to keep, but try you must. Give too much, drain yourself, and there is nothing left only bitter space. Give too little, become a cork, and you block the flow of God's love through you. Keep on balancing.

you need to stop comparing yourself to other people.
Some people are great singers, some are really smart and others are great athletes. But none of them are, or ever could be you. You are one of a kind. So stop comparing yourself to other people. You can't be them any more than they can be you.

iving your life as good as you are able to, is good enough.

You don't need to be superhuman, and you don't need to be perfect. Simply live the best you can, and God will take care of the rest.
