The ability to be in the present moment is a major component of mental wellness.

There have been times that I’ve wept as I’ve gone from city to city and I’ve seen how far people have wandered from God.

Conscious of not being able to separate myself from my time, I have decided to become part of it.

I never deny. I never contradict. I sometimes forget.

Heaven gives us hope and makes our present burdens easier to bear.

I feel 80% of my life is completely normal.

The spirit of man is more important than mere physical strength, and the spiritual fiber of a nation than its wealth.

Prayer doesn’t just change things – it changes us. If we are diligent in seeking God, slowly and surely we become better people.

I have learned from personal experience that putting trust in God means there will be some unanswered questions. That was a hard lesson for me because I naturally want to understand everything… to know what’s going on so I can feel like I’m in control.

Let your religion be less of a theory and more of a love affair.

We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.

I know that when I pray, something wonderful happens. Not just to the person or persons for whom I’m praying, but also something wonderful happens to me. I’m grateful that I’m heard.

If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world.

I’m grateful for always this moment, the now, no matter what form it takes.

I think it makes sense to believe in God, but exactly what decision in your life you make differently because of it, I don’t know.

Whatsoever is, is in God, and without God nothing can be, or be conceived.

There’s only one effectively redemptive sacrifice, the sacrifice of self-will to make room for the knowledge of God.

I think God gives every one of us our own will, and unfortunately, some people choose to do evil things with it.

Nonviolence means avoiding not only external physical violence but also internal violence of spirit. You not only refuse to shoot a man, but you refuse to hate him.

I do think that a minister who can preach a sermon without addressing sinners does not know how to preach.

The highest revelation is that God is in every man.

I consider wisdom supernatural because it isn’t taught by men – it’s a gift from God.

Nothing can be by itself alone, no one can be by himself or herself alone, everyone has to inter-be with every one else. That is why, when you look outside, around you, you can see yourself.

The roots of the problems we face in the world, in our national life, and in our family and personal lives are spiritual.

We can’t just continue living as if there was no tomorrow, because there is a tomorrow.
