I believe that my prayers are heard right away when I pray. God said he will never forsake us. That means that he will always be there and listening. The key to activating that promise is our belief. Our belief is what will get us that promise that God gave us. God said it many times in the bible, whatever you ask for and believe that is yours. It will be given to you. Keep praying and believing friends.

Coach Swinney use to always say, what you do in the dark will come to light. I always thought he was looking right at me and I thought to myself I wasn't doing anything wrong. What I learned soon was that it's easy to do the right things when people are looking. The hard thing is to do it when no one is looking. The one thing I know about life is that you can talk about who you are and what you have been doing, but eventually the world will bring you to the front of everyone and you will have to show what you have been doing.

In a time of lack, the one we can always turn to is God. Most times we are getting pulled in so many different directions and we get lost in the crowd. God is always there with us and waiting for us to come to him and seek him. He already knows what we lack and need, but we have to be willing to seek him. I want you to always remember that he gave so we should be willing to give to others.

I was reading John 11 verse 9 and 10. It talks about how Jesus spoke on walking in the daytime and being in the light. I was playing football, and I thought I was Ricky Sapp the football player. What I learned eventually was that football wasn't my purpose and football wasn't the light God wanted me to shine. He revealed to me what my true purpose was and now I try to walk in that light daily.

The simple things that bring us joy is what we often times forget. We all have to remember that we have a choice every day to be happy or sad. The choice is yours. It's important that we fill our cup up daily by doing the things that brings us pure joy. Whatever that simple thing is, I encourage you to never forget and do it often. Your happiness depends on it.

I believe healing and change starts with being real with yourself and knowing what you need to fix. The one question that I can remember being asked is who are you? I think now more then ever I can answer that question. I am more self aware and I know what I need to get up everyday and work on. I understand that if I am going to continue to walk in the purpose God place on my life, then I have to make sure I am working towards being the best version of myself. I can't change the world until I change myself.

We are in times right now where God needs us the most. If you are a believer, God need us to let our light shine for the good and to bring more people to him. We have an opportunity help save this world and I am praying that you will feel more confident when you step out into the world and spread the gospel about God. James 3:5-6 says the tongue is a small member and can set the forest on fire. Use your words to help put positivity in this world.

Did you know that you have favor over your life? Psalm 90:17 says that favor and God is upon us and God wants us to use it to do good in the world. Not to be prideful and self-centered, but to wear that favor and let your light shine through God. Most people are afraid to wear that favor because of what they think others will say. The ones that are willing to wear that favorite and tell people about it are the one's God adds more favorite to.

The ultimate creator is God, and he made us in his image. Which means that we have so much creativity in us and we can use that to bring different opportunities in our life. We also have gifts in us, and I believe that with the creativity and gifts, God intended for us to put out good in the world and fix any issue the world may present.

We hear the question all the time. Is the cup half full or half empty? I think we have been asking the wrong question. We should be asking do we have all that we need. Often times we get caught up looking at what others have, and we forget to be thankful for what we have. God loves when we show gratitude and when we do that, he will multiply and give us more. I challenge you to take a look at your life and ask the question. Do I have all that I need at this very moment.
