threatenings of evil can penetrate into the high tower of God.

us be strong and of good courage, for the Lord will fight for us if we stand in faith.

give us lasting peace. He receives joy, not from condemning us but in rescuing us from the devil.

sin's power and consequences. In its place, the Lord works to establish healing, forgiveness and
peace.

started, even as it were at nothing else but my shadow, yet God, as being very tender of me, hath not
suffered me to be molested, but would with one Scripture or another, strengthen me against all;
insomuch that I have often said, Were it lawful, I could pray for greater trouble, for the greater
comfort's sake.
Author: John Bunyan
The godly man contrarily is afraid of nothing; not of God, because he knows Him his best friend,
and will not hurt him; not of Satan, because he cannot hurt him; not of afflictions, because he knows
they come from a loving God, and end in his good; not of the creatures, since "the very stones in the
field are in league with Him;" not of himself, since his conscience is at peace.

Author: Augustine
It is not my aim to introduce doubts and fears into your mind; no, but I do hope self-examination

confidence, but false confidence, which we would overthrow; not peace, but false peace, which we
would destroy.

The difference between can and cannot are only three letters. Three letters that
determine your life's direction.
Being positive or negative are habits of thoughts that have a very strong influence on everyone's
life.
Positive and negative are directions. Which direction do you choose?
Positive thinking is expecting, talking and visualizing with certainty what you want to achieve, as
an accomplished fact.
Riches, mediocrity and poverty begin in the mind.
Reality is the mirror of your thoughts. Choose well what you put in front of the mirror.
The mind is the decisive factor in your life, but who decides for the mind?
A positive attitude brings strength, energy, motivation and initiative.
To think negatively is like taking a weakening drug.
Positive thoughts are not enough. There have to be positive feelings and positive actions.
When you say, "I can't" and expect the worst, you become weak and unhappy.
When you say "I can", and expect success, you fill yourself with confidence and happiness.
Being resolute, decisive and courageous in small matters and in big ones is being positive.
You can close the windows and darken your room, and you can open the windows and let light in. It

11. is a matter of choice. Your mind is your room. Do you darken it or do you fill it with light?
Positive thinking and negative thinking are attitudes. They are points of view, and show the way
people handle their affairs.
Suppose you stand at a crossroads, one way leads to a desert and the other one to lush meadows,
which way do you choose?
Clear thoughts produce clear results.
Positive thinking evokes more energy, more initiative and more happiness.
Visualize and Achieve
Train your mind to think in terms of 'possible' and 'can be done'.
When you have control over your thoughts, you have control over your life.
Happy thoughts attract happy people into your life.
Happy thoughts fill your life with happiness.
Changing your habitual thoughts, is like changing the direction of a train.
Affirm the positive, visualize the positive and expect the positive, and your life will change
accordingly.
When there are difficulties and you feel down, this is the time to visualize, think and expect the
positive.
Do not let circumstances influence your thoughts and moods. By rising over them mentally, you
will eventually rise over them materially.
Fill your mind with light, happiness, hope, feelings of security and strength, and soon your life will
reflect these qualities.
Reading inspiring quotes uplifts the mind, bringing hope and joy.

12. Repeating inspiring quotes during the day, helps to better cope with every situation that arises.
The power of positive thinking is like a car with a powerful engine that can take you to the summit
of a mountain.

behavior.
