Strength for Each Day Quotes

“Focusing on loving God and loving others keeps us from being selfish and self-centered, and that is very important to our joy. We cannot be selfish and happy at the same time. God has created us to receive from Him and then share what He has given us with other people.”
― Joyce Meyer, Strength for Each Day: 365 Devotions to Make Every Day a Great Day

“When we talk, we hear what we say, just as others do, and those words do have an impact on us. I think that if we spend most of the day gossiping, complaining, and being negative, we will feel depressed and perhaps even angry. I firmly believe that some people suffer with depression simply because they think and speak negatively most of the time. I urge you to start today to speak words filled with life. Be positive and hopeful at all times, and ask God regularly to help you say what He would say in every situation. “Father, I need Your help with my words. Put a guard over my mouth and help me think before I speak. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”
