Set Free By Truth!

The following quotes (the first set for singles & the second set for the married) are from Nancy Leigh DeMoss' book, Lies Women Believe and the Truth That Sets Them Free. I can't think of a better book to recommend to all women! It's unbelievable how lies traumatically affect our lives, our marriages and future marriages. The good news is the reverse is also true! Embracing truth has a powerful effect on our lives & all our relationships.

This first quote has been one I've quoted often the past couple of years (especially on days when I'm tempted to think God has forgotten about me & my future husband is never coming) and it encourages me so much:

"God has promised to provide everything I need. If He will receive more glory by my being married, then He will provide a husband for me." 1 Chronicles 29:11-12; Job 42:1-2; Proverbs 16:9, 1 Corinthians 7:25-38

"Those who wait on the Lord always get His best. Those who insist on getting what they want often end up with heartache." Psalm 37:4; 106:15; Jeremiah 17:5-8

"There is no person who can meet my deepest needs. No one and nothing can make me truly happy, apart from God." Psalm 62:5; 118:8-9, Jeremiah 17:5-7

These quotes (also from the same book) are for my married readers:

"A godly life and prayer are a wife's two greatest means of influencing her husbands life." James 5:16; 1 Peter 3:1-4

"It is far more effective for a woman to appeal to the Lord to change her husband than to try to exert pressure on him directly." Proverbs 17:1; 19:13; 21:1, 9

Just try saying these out loud for a week and see how much more hopeful and positive your outlook is.
