Sometimes our problems overwhelm us. I remember Susan jumping into a taxi after a morning of dealing with one crisis after another. She yelled to the taxi driver, "All right, let's get going." "Where do you want me to take you?" asked the taxi driver. Susan yelled back, "I don't care where you take me, I've got problems everywhere."

Most of my counseling is with couples who are having trouble in their marriage. Many of these couples feel hopeless that anything could be done to help their situation. However, for those who are willing to continue to seek God and implement some practical steps, great strides can be made toward restoring the intimacy of partnership.

If I knew it would be the last time that I'd see you fall asleep, I would tuck you in more tightly and pray the Lord, your soul to keep. If I knew it would be the last time that I'd see you walk out the door, I would give you a hug and kiss and call you back for one more.

Do you have a God-given dream that has not yet happened? If so, let me encourage you to hang onto your dream. Be faithful to God and His instructions. Don't be discouraged by how much time has gone by. Don't be discouraged that you (in the natural) are not the most qualified. If God gave the dream, though it tarries, wait—for it shall surely come to pass.

Do you ever feel like everything in your life is going wrong? Does it ever seem to you that everything you try to do falls apart?

There was a young man who was mistreated by his older brothers. They hated him and never spoke a peaceful word to him.

Later some men came along and the brothers sold him to the men to do with him as they pleased.

In my travels, I continually meet people who aren't fulfilling their destiny. They appear to be frustrated and without direction. When I talk with these individuals, I usually discover that they are allowing past mistakes to impact their present and determine their future.

What is entitlement thinking? It is an attitude or a way of looking at life. Those who have this attitude believe that others owe them. They believe they get something because they are owed it and they are entitled to it. They get what they want because of who they are, not because of what they do.

Everyone seems stressed with all sorts of life challenges and trials. Just this week alone, I was in State Supreme Court and Federal Court with people facing serious situations. Last night, a frantic call came from a former pastor. His wife had just left him. Tomorrow I will meet a young man in his fourth relationship and four children from four different women.

When miners dig for diamonds, they have to have an eye for seeing these precious stones when they are covered with dirt and crusted with other hard surfaces. Miners dig deep holes looking for this precious stone which is formed as a result of years of pressure applied to a lump of coal. It is a colorless stone, and is the hardest mineral known to man.
