Quote by Craig D. Lounsbrough

“Confidence is a word born of a deeply primal wish. And it is rendered a wish simply because it is rarely a reality. We long for it. We hope for it. We engage in a myriad number of situations hoping against all hope that we can have confidence in whatever it is that we’ve chosen to engage in. Yet, the confidence that we are most often left with is the confidence that we cannot be confident. And the single exception that I have found is the God who was confident enough in me to be all things confident for me.”

Prayer is about trust more than answers. Sometimes it is the only healthy way to channel your anger. ... Anger is fear turned inside out.”

“The primary lesson in the failure of the peace process and the violence of the second intifada is that there is very little reason for each side to trust the other. In peacemaking, that is not always a bad thing. It requires us to be a lot more careful. It forces us to plan for failure. And it should teach us to make much more intelligent agreements. Agreements that are based on a lack of trust or, even worse, on mistrust, can push us to ensure that we are more careful in taking risks and that we build in more mechanisms for dealing with breaches and breakdowns.”
