Desperate situations Quote by Francis Chan
““But when you start talking to the hurting people around you, digging deeper to learn how you can love and serve them, that’s when you need the Holy Spirit, and that’s precisely when He shows up! God works in the most desperate situations so that no one can mistake it for anything other than His power.””

![“I can’t count the times I have lagged seemingly hopelessly far behind, and nobody except myself thinks I can win. But I have pulled myself in from desperate [situations]. When you are behind there are two strategies - counter-attack or all men to the defences. I’m good at finding the right balance…” quote by Magnus Carlsen](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/db3/magnus-carlsen-11607_balance_i-can-t-count-the-times-i-have-lagged-se_517000.jpg)
