Inspirational Quotes by Max Lucado
“«No permitas que nada en la vida te deje sin aliento y en angustia perpetuamente». La presencia de la ansiedad es inevitable, pero la prisión de la ansiedad es opcional.”
“La ansiedad y el miedo son primos, pero no son idénticos. El miedo ve una amenaza. La ansiedad se la imagina.”

“anxiety, a proper understanding of sovereignty is huge. Anxiety is often the consequence of perceived chaos. If we sense we are victims of unseen, turbulent, random forces, we”
“Belief always precedes behavior.”
“Is your heart weighed down with worry? Look for these signals: • Are you laughing less than you once did? • Do you see problems in every promise? • Would those who know you best describe you as increasingly negative and critical? • Do you assume that something bad is going to happen? • Do you dilute and downplay good news with doses of your version of reality? • Many days would you rather stay in bed than get up? • Do you magnify the negative and dismiss the positive? • Given the chance, would you avoid any interaction with humanity for the rest of your life? If you answered yes to most of these questions, I have a friend for you to meet. Actually, I have a scripture for you to read. I’ve read the words so often that we have become friends. I’d like to nominate this passage for the Scripture Hall of Fame. The museum wall that contains the framed words of the Twenty-third Psalm, the Lord’s Prayer, and John 3:16 should also display Philippians 4:4–8:”
“His history is redeemed not in minutes but in lifetimes.”
“Yet he never gave up. Bitterness never staked its claim. Anger never metastasized into hatred. His heart never hardened; his resolve never vanished. He not only survived; he thrived.”
“Down to Egypt. Just a few hours ago Joseph's life was looking up.”
“Life pulls us down.”
“Don't get sucked into short-term thinking. Your struggles will not last forever, but you will.”
“It may seem that the calamity sucked your life out to sea, but it hasn't. You still have your destiny.”
“Think you have lost it all? You haven't. "God's gifts and God's call are under full warranty-- never canceled, never rescinded" (Rom. 11:29 MSG).”
“Cuando pases a través de las aguas, yo estaré contigo; y a través de los ríos, ellos no te anegarán; cuando andes a través del fuego, no te quemará; ni la llama arderá en ti. (Isaías 43.2, traducción libre)6”
“I have never been more or less saved than the moment I was first saved. Not one bad deed has deducted from my salvation. No good deed, if there are any, has enhanced it. My salvation has nothing to do with my work and everything to do with the finished work of Christ on the cross.”
“Peace is within reach, not for lack of problems, but because of the presence of a sovereign Lord. Rather than rehearse the chaos of the world, rejoice in the Lord’s sovereignty, as Paul did.”
“Tú puedes escoger en qué piensas. Puedes ser el controlador aéreo de tu aeropuerto mental. Ocupas la torre de control y puedes dirigir el tráfico mental de tu mundo. Los pensamientos sobrevuelan, vienen y van. Si alguno aterriza, es porque le diste permiso. Si se va, es porque le diste instrucciones de que lo hiciera. Tú puedes escoger tu patrón de pensamiento. Por eso el hombre sabio pide encarecidamente: «Y sobre todas las cosas, cuida tu mente, porque ella es la fuente de la vida» (Proverbios 4.23, TLA). ¿Quieres ser feliz mañana? Entonces siembra hoy semillas de felicidad.”
“Is fear coming at you from all sides? Then let God speak to you.”
“You cannot control the circumstances, but you can always control what you think of them.”
“Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, And whose hope is the LORD. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought. (Jer. 17:7–8, emphasis mine)”
