I know....we all think we have all the answers. We all think we know what we need at given times in life. But the beauty of faith is that we don't have to "help ourselves". We don't have to figure it out alone because we are NOT alone! We have a GOOD SHEPHERD who absolutely loves us, died and rose for us to live and have life in HIM. Stop trying to fix it and figure it out on your own, there's simply no need to. AMEN

You believed GOD for something that either hasn't come to pass yet, or not in the way you'd hoped...feeling like you didn't have "enough faith"? That's not true, it's a lie that the enemy tells to discourage us and keep us from believing GOD again or staying in faith. The Scripture says all you need is faith the size of a mustard seed...keep believing GOD for HIS promises, even if you haven't seen it yet, or it hasn't revealed itself as you'd hoped. AMEN

And HE'S always listening, HE doesn't want us to be lead astray. AMEN
