I just got a copy of a little gem of a book, Safely Through the Storm, compiled by Deb Herbeck.  Debbie compiled 120 wonderful quotes guaranteed to help you to “lift up your hearts.”  I already have post-its marking many of them. I have to share at least a couple with you:

All things fail, but You, O Lord of them all, never fail. . . . You seem, O Lord, to give extreme tests to those who love You, but only that, in the extremity of their trials, they learn the greater extremity of Your love.  (St. Teresa of Avila)

Today, O Lord, I felt intense fear. My whole being seemed to be invaded by fear.  No peace, no rest; just plain fear: fear of mental breakdown, fear of living the wrong life, fear of rejection and condemnation, and fear of you . . . .

You, O Lord, have also known fear.  You have been deeply troubled; you sweat and tears were the signs of your fear.  Make my fear, O Lord, part of yours, so that it will lead me not to darkness but to the light, and will give me a new understanding of the hope of your cross.  (Fr. Henri Nouwen)
