Ronald Reagan Quotes

Ten thousand difficulties do not make one doubt.

You cannot always control the powers-that-be. You just have to have faith and stand by the things you believe in.

Great faith must have great trials.

Keep in mind that many people have died for their beliefs; it's actually quite common. The real courage is in living and suffering for what you believe.

Adversity makes men remember God.

Through these adversities, Israel has endured with continued strength, conviction, and faith.

I stand up for what I believe. I don't know if it's always paid off for me, because I've been ridiculed and humiliated.

God, he deals you blows that at sometimes you think you can't handle and in the last year there have been things that we thought we couldn't handle but we've dealt with it up until this point.

Seven and half years ago I began my own journey. For me and my family it was a time of adversity. But during that adversity I derived a deeper faith. And born out of that adversity was a commitment to devote myself to those people and to those issues that truly matter to me.

The word tells us that trials will come ahead and we'll be ridiculed more for our faith. So if you're going to go in as a believer thinking that everything is going to be smooth, you're probably not in the right mind-set. It's going to be tough at times, and has been for me personally.

If we cannot believe God when circumstances seem be against us, we do not believe Him at all.

Trials are the soil in which faith flourishes.

Don't let the workings of adversity totally absorb your life. Try to understand what you can. Act where you are able; then let the matter rest with the Lord for a period while you give to others in worthy ways before you take on appropriate concern again. Please learn that as you wrestle with a challenge and feel sadness because of it, you can simultaneously have peace and rejoicing.

Faith without challenge is nothing.

If we do not have a deep foundation of faith and a solid testimony of truth, we may have difficulty withstanding the harsh storms and icy winds of adversity which inevitably come to each of us.

Just when all seems to be going right, challenges often come in multiple doses applied simultaneously. When those trials are not consequences of your disobedience, they are evidence that the Lord feels you are prepared to grow more. He therefore gives you experiences that stimulate growth, understanding, and compassion which polish you for your everylasting benefit.

The winds of tribulation, which blow out some men's candles of commitment, only fan the fires of faith of others.
