Even when we pray and pray and pray, God will not always take away the thorn in our side. It's not because he's not good. It's because he gives the grace for us to bear with it and he is using it for his glory. God did not design us to work ourselves up to …
God is our Comforter. Even when life is uncomfortable, God will comfort us. I have received the comfort of God in times of trouble, so I can testify that no matter what it is, God will come through. It is good to share about the lessons God has taught you and the things the Holy …
Sometimes God asks you to do something that you've already tried and failed at. God's presence changes everything. Doing something with God means there's a lot going on that God is doing and you can't see. Having faith in God means trusting he can do something new in situations that look like they won't work …
God blesses obedience. If God asks you to do something, he will provide. He already has provision waiting for you when you act in obedience. God can provide with numbers that don't make sense to anyone else. Don't try to rationalize what God can and can't do based on what you can see. Don't limit …

Hope in God produces patience in you. If you trust God to work it out and choose to hope that God will take care of it, you don't have to worry about it or fret or guess or argue. God's timing is perfect, even when it's not what we wish it was. Waiting is not …
Life is not meant to be perfect. Every day, we face the tension of knowing in our souls a perfect God who is in heaven while living in an imperfect and dysfunctional world. It is our daily struggle to keep our eyes on Jesus even though our experiences are far from perfection. But we have …
God uses your testimony to proclaim his glory and reach others. Saul went from killing Christians to preaching about Jesus because God appeared to him and turned his life around. Before Saul knew Jesus, he thought what he was doing pleased God. After Saul knew Jesus, he was able to preach to people who thought …
Jesus doesn't always show up the way we expect. Sometimes, we mistake God showing up as something bad coming our way, when really we just don't understand or clearly see that it's God.
