"As long as you have hope, anything is possible." And "Lord, remind me that nothing is going to happen today that you and I can't handle together" Those are the ones that popped into my cranium first. There are others but it's a start.

"Don't overthink the problem"

- Every problem can be broken down to its component parts. But even when it seems insurmountable, just look at the situation. What is the simplest solution to change the situation. Change the situation, change the Problem, and that changes the solutions that you have available to you. The goal is not to "fix" the issue, it is change the condition you are in NOW so that you can move FORWARD towards a "fix." Burning time spinning your wheels looking for a "perfect fix" is time spend which could get you an 85% change which opens up other options, which you you know how to deal with already.
