Do you have a hard time waiting, especially for a promise in God’s Word to become your reality?

In our head we know we are to be patient, so we go through the process, but it’s very challenging in our heart. Especially if you have been waiting a long time for something like a spouse, a child, a healing, a job promotion…. We can easily try to take matters in our own hands to make something happen, but what if that still doesn’t work. 

How do you not give up or quit believing?

How do you trust God in the process?

In this episode, I hope you will be strengthened and encouraged to hold onto God's promises and not give up. My very close friend, Dr. Cathy Taig joins me to share her journey of waiting on God’s promises to have children. After sixteen years, she finally gave birth naturally to a daughter and then three years later to a son.

We will discuss:

• How do you not give up or give into pressure from others who think you are crazy?

Hebrews 6:12 says that we inherit God’s promises through faith and patience.

“But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.” Romans 8:25

Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Psalm 27:14

Do you have a difficult time trusting God or seeing Him as a loving Father because of how you relate to your natural, earthly father? 

Our view of God as Father greatly affects how we relate to Him, see ourself, and ultimately the life we live.

In episode 35, Fred and Lori Snyder will discuss three areas that can shape our view of God: performance, our family history, and religious teachings. These areas can cause us to question the goodness of God based on our past experiences, limited natural understanding, ignorance of the gospel and wrong teachings.  

We want to help you establish your heart in the goodness of God, and receive the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit. (2 Corinthians 13:14).

Joy is a fruit of the Holy Spirit…God’s abiding presence. Joy sustains you and gives confidence to move forward in faith, despite your circumstances. We discuss how the joy of the Lord is your strength, and how Jesus instructed us to abide in His love and that He would give us unending joy.

Fear is being sold to us everywhere we turn. Fear of the unknown, fear of man, fear of war, fear of making mistakes or taking risks.... Fear is a thief that steals, kills and destroys the life that God intends for us: one that thrives. It's the enemy of trusting God and walking by faith.

We must recognize when we are anxious or fearful--that it's a story we are telling ourselves that isn't based on God's Word, rather on past experiences, trauma, vain imaginations, wrong mindsets, etc., and then overcome all that keeps us trapped from moving forward in faith.

In today's episode, Fred and Lori Snyder practically share how to conquer fear with establishing your heart in God's Truth and love. We want you to live empowered with God's way, truth and life!
