“In Christ, you are already successful, so, no matter the situation, praise the Lord; no matter the travail, know that the Lord is with you.
“No matter what people say, no matter how you feel, know that God is always there for you; it is God all through.
“Without Him, you labour in vain.
“Always say, ‘Father, let your will be done.’
“Always bear in mind that God has better plans for you, plans for you to succeed; so, you must submit yourself to Him, it is not your will but, His will.
“Because He lives, you can face tomorrow; in any position you find yourself, stop and praise God.”
