"We need to be constant, we need to persevere."
"Everyone is looking for God. Either they found him and continuing that search to deepen their relationship, or they're thirsting and hungering and seeking him still."
"We have to make room for God. If we think we have all the answers, if we think we've got it all together, if we think that we don't need God, then we're that much farther away from finding that peace and that joy and that salvation that God is waiting to give us."
