Just because you help others doesn't mean you never need help yourself. Doctors can catch colds. Lawyers can be sued. Police officers can call 911.

Sarah Jakes Roberts

Sarah Jakes Roberts (* 1988) ist eine US-amerikanische Pastorin, Bestsellerautorin und Leiterin der Bewegung „Woman Evolve“, die im charismatisch-evangelikalen Umfeld US-amerikanischer Großkirchen wirkt. Sie steht für Themen wie emotionale Heilung, das Überwinden von Scham und Neuanfänge nach persönlichen Krisen, sieht sich jedoch auch theologischer Kritik an einem stark motivationalen, auf Selbsthilfe ausgerichteten Predigtstil ausgesetzt. Für Bibelleser bieten ihre Impulse lebensnahe Anknüpfungspunkte bei Versagensängsten und Alltagskrisen, werfen aber zugleich die Frage nach der Grenze zwischen biblischer Auslegung und psychologischer Ermutigung auf.

Fits of depression come over the most of us. Usually cheerful as we may be, we must at intervals be cast down. The strong are not always vigorous, the wise not always ready, the brave not always courageous, and the joyous not always happy.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon

I am certain that I never did grow in grace one-half so much anywhere as I have upon the bed of pain.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon

I am so weak. I can’t read my Bible. I can’t even pray. I can only lie still in God’s arms like a little child and trust.
Hudson Taylor

The bow cannot be always bent without fear of breaking. Repose is as needful to the mind as sleep to the body… Rest time is not waste time. It is economy to gather fresh strength.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon
