Jesse Duplantis:
\n
\nThere are times that you don’t feel like going to work, but you crucify that feeling and go. Why? Because you know it’s a requirement and your feelings about it don’t matter. You chose the job; so you choose to get up and go to work, even on days that you don’t feel like it. Your present feeling doesn’t move you. You’re moved by your decision.
\nThat’s what being a Christian is about, too. Sometimes you just don’t feel saved. You don’t feel like being nice. You don’t feel like helping someone out. You don’t feel like keeping up Jesus’ ministry of reconciliation. But, despite how you feel, you make the decision to be nice, to help someone and to keep Christ's ministry. It's that simple.

Victoria Osteen:
All through Scripture, we see that Jesus went around laying hands on the sick. We see power flow out of Him when a woman just touched the hem of His garments. We are told that believers are to lay hands on the sick. And, I personally have never met anyone who rejected prayer. Even if they aren’t a believer, even if they feel awkward at first or don’t want to say the prayer, they do want to be prayed for.
There’s power in prayer, and there’s power when we lay hands on people. Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me.” Can you imagine what He deposited into those children through the power of touch? I guarantee those children were never the same. Those children went away blessed.
There may be some people in your family that you have grown tired of praying for. Maybe you have someone in your life that always calls for prayer but never takes your advice! We all know those kinds of people. But Jesus never said, “I’m tired of praying for these people.” No, we need to pray for them anyway. We need to reach out. We need to believe for others until they are able to believe for themselves.
Every day before my children go to school, I’ve always taken time to lay my hands on them and pray for them. You know what’s funny? Now that they are older, they lean into me when I begin to pray. They lean in for that touch. They feel the power and blessing in it.
Maybe you didn’t raise your children this way. Maybe you’ve never prayed for them before, but you can start today! Right now, you can speak the blessing over them and pray for them. When you see them, you can just hug them and say, “I bless you in the name of Jesus.” Instead of spending all your time correcting your children or the people you love, spend time connecting with them. Don’t look at what’s wrong; pull out what’s right. If you’ll connect with your children and family members, I believe you’ll see them leaning into you more and receiving your touch. Start today. Follow the example of Jesus and lay loving hands on people when you pray and watch what God will do through the power of touch!
“Then children were brought to Him that He might lay His hands on them and pray...” (Matthew 19:13, ESV)

Billy Graham's Prayer For Our Nation:
'Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery. We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare. We have killed our unborn and called it choice. We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable. We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self-esteem. We have abused power and called it politics. We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition. We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression. We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment. Search us, Oh God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from sin and set us free. Amen!'
With the Lord's help, may this prayer sweep over our nation and wholeheartedly become our desire so that we once again can be called 'One nation under God!'

Having Jesus' peace doesn't mean you stick your head in the sand and pretend nothing is wrong. That's foolishness. The world calls it denial.
No, you don't deny - you defy! You defy that problem by facing it head-on with the name of Jesus, the blood of Jesus and the words of your mouth. Then, until the manifestation of your miracle appears, hook your faith into the peace of God and refuse to be troubled.

Jesse Duplantis:
See, the devil is no match for God. And he can’t give you something you can’t handle through Jesus! God doesn’t send tribulation to teach you something. The devil just tries to stop God’s plan for your life by sending tribulation. The devil tried to stop Paul and he’ll try to stop you. But don’t worry. Think of it like Paul did: It’s your glory! You’re intimidating that idiot and he’s trying to shut you down. But greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4)! You will be victorious!
