Some Encouraging thoughts from Johny (Late John George Samuel)

Faith

  • Even though we come to the end of the rope, we never come to the end of our hope. (Jer. 29:11; 2 Cor. 4:8-9; Col. 1:27)
  • Praise God in all circumstances, whether they seem good or bad. Trust God for His wonderful plan for your life. (Ps. 34:1; 22:23,24; Acts. 16:25; Is. 42:10) 
  • “The things which are impossible with men, are possible with God”. (Luke. 18:27; 1:37; Jer. 32:27; Gen. 18:14) 

Prayer 

  • You have not always promised me rest from my burden, but You have always offered me rest in my burden. (Prov. 6:4; Ps. 106:43; 2 Kin. 17:39) 

  • Don’t pray with sympathy, pray with power. (Rom. 8:35; Acts. 27:25; Eph. 6:10) 

  • “The promises of God are certain, but they do not all mature in ninety-days”. (John. 11:6; 2 Pet. 3:9; Ps. 69:3) 

Facing Difficulties 

  • Consider it pure joy… whenever you face trials of many kinds. (2 Cor. 4:8; Ps. 34:19; Ps. 119:71) 
  • Though winds are wild, and the gale unleashed, my trusting heart still sings. (2 Tim. 1:12; Rom. 8:28; Ps. 140:12) 
  • “When each earthly prop gives under, and life seems a restless sea, are you then a God-kept wonder, satisfied, calm and free?” (Prov. 22:12; Ps. 18:23; Jer. 2:25)
