A couple of good Max Lucado 'God' thoughts:
He is Able

If your Father is God and you have a problem on your hands, what do you do?  Scripture tells us what to do.

Is your problem too large?  Ephesians 3:20 says, “God is able to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.”

Is your need too great?  2 Corinthians 9:8 reminds us, “God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance.”

Is your temptation too severe?  Hebrews 2:18 says, “God is able to help us when we are being tested.”

Is your future too frightening?  Jude 24 tells us, “God is able to keep you from falling away and will bring you with great joy into his glorious presence without a single fault.”

Make these verses part of your daily diet.  God is able to accomplish, provide, help, save, keep, subdue.  He is able to do what you can’t.  Go to Him!

God is Enough

Let’s face it–anxiety or worry have no advantages!  They ruin our health, rob us of joy, and change nothing!  Our day stands no chance against the terrorists of the Land of Anxiety.

But Christ offers a worry-bazooka.  Remember how He taught us to pray?  “Give us this day our daily bread. Matthew 6:11”  This simple sentence unveils God’s provision plan:  live one day at a time.

Worry gives small problems big shadows.  Corrie ten Boom said, “Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows; it empties today of its strength.”   And Romans 8:28 affirms: “Every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good.”

Most anxiety stems, not from what we need, but from what we want.  Philippians 4:4 says, “delight yourselves in the Lord, yes, find your joy in Him at all times!”

If God is enough, you’ll always have enough!
