“As I sat in the hotel room, I realized that in fact I had left my heavenly Father again. By allowing myself to become anxious, I had run off from His comforting Presence. When would I learn that I cannot worry and trust God at the same time! I relaxed in my chair and felt at peace again. “Oh, thank You, Father,” I said weeping in relief. “Please forgive me for stepping away from You. You are here, You are in that hall. I’ll be all right.”

“Satan, the father of lies. He uses “harmless” white lies to get us started in this insidious habit. Lies pave the way for greater temptations to come. Satan whispers that a white lie is “consideration” for other people. We bend ourselves to the world instead of to Jesus who is the Truth.”

“...as I made the attempt to put God first, some of my other heartfelt needs were given back to me.”
