Remain or Be Raised

In your situations:

"Complain and you'll remain -
Praise and you'll be raised."

The Attitudes of your Mind

Peace

"The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace."
Psalm 29:11

Designed to Prosper

"We were designed by God to prosper behind enemy lines - not for comfort, safety or retreat...
We were born to thrive in difficulty and grow through adversity...
So much of the resistance and persecution we have experienced as Christians is not because of our faith, but our aproach.
We have confronted, judged, corrected and lived adversely among others...
The world is not against us until we give them a reason to be. If that reason is a valid one, then we welcome the persecution. But if not, then we make potential enemies out of potential friends."
