Quotations with a citation

I’m glad to be alive. That’s number one. I’m glad to be alive. Number two, I’m glad to be saved and alive. I’m just grateful to the Lord for everything that he’s done for me.

I walk by faith, I live by faith.

[T]he coronavirus is not the only virus that we have. All of the hatred and all of that stuff that’s going on, that’s a virus too.

Prayer works. It does. When you can’t do anything else, you can pray. You can always pray. And just know that in spite of all of this, that everything comes to an end. Nothing lasts forever.
