No amount of slp can help if your soul is tired

Sometimes the greatest need to rest is not when drained or tired, but is when in the peak! Stop for rest to pray

When things are going well... Don't wait for a crisis to start to pray

Blessing is not God's standard of approval... Righteousness is God's standard of approval
