Some Inspiring thoughts from Johny (Late John George Samuel) 

Faith 

• When God is going to do something wonderful, He begins with a difficulty. When He is going to do something really wonderful, He begins with an impossibility. (John. 11:4; Dan.3:25; 1Pet. 5:10)

• When facing difficulties we should have the faith that the Lord is with us. We can handle them easily. (Ps. 23:4; Ps. 46:1; Mat. 1:23)

• If we trust in God, He will make the impossible possible, and will do only what is best for us. (John. 11:40; Ps. 125:1; Jer. 17:7; Heb. 11:1) 

Prayer

• God’s intervention is often the result of our intercession. (Gen.18:30; Deut.9:8; Mat. 15:27) 

• What shall I say? “Father, save me from this hour. Father, glorify your name!” (John 12:27, 28.)   
As a saint of God, my attitude towards sorrow and difficulty should not be to ask that they be prevented, but to ask, “God protect me so that I may remain what you created me to be, inspite of all my fires of sorrow.” (Ps. 70:5; 2 Sam. 22:23; 1king. 18:10)

• God may delay His plans, but He will never desert them. (Job. 8:20; Ps. 89:33; 2 Pet. 3:9-10) 

Facing Difficulties

• God may not give us an easy journey to the Promised Land, but He will give us a safe one.(1 Thess. 3:3; 1Pet. 4:1; 2 Tim. 3:12) 

• The world may ask you to hit-back and get it out of your system, but God asks you to sit-back and get Him into your system, allowing Him to handle things. (2 Cor. 2:14; Rom. 1:28; Col. 1:10) 

• “Even the most tempestuous wind cannot disturb the quietness of the stars.” (Heb. 7:25;2; 2 Tim. 1:12; Dan. 3:17)
