I am growing in my faith and I'm so much stronger then I was. But, I'm geetting weary and know it's going to get worse before it gets better. But I will stand and fight the good fight and never give up. Because I also know the best is yet to come.

David once said, If I had not believed I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living, I would have despaired. I believe we need to have a strong faith that good things will happen in our day, to safeguard us from despair. God is good.

Linda,

Psalm 37 has been one of anchors during the last four years. Check it out! I go back to certain verses from the Psalm on an almost daily basis. Blessings!

I could not agree more! The other day I was telling my husband that I am so grateful that back in 2008 I stumbled upon Pastor Arnold Murray at 5 a.m. on T.V. because I could not sleep. It changed my life, I learned the Bible from him, line by line, chapter by chapter, my faith grew, my knowledge grew. If it had not been for that time at that moment, I may have never known about Pastor Murray, because of him and the knowledge that I gained, I did not fall for their Covid lies, I see through all of their deception. God put me there that morning, and from there it blossomed. I am not perfect and currently do not study as I did, just working to hard to survive. Pastor Murray was very awake to so much, and his deep studies I would get on CD and listen to them while I traveled for work. I am forever grateful to him, may God rest his soul. I feel like God prepared a lot of His children for what we are going through, some more than others, and some are some amazing prayer warriors! I did not grow up with any religion or church or bible, so I was late to the game, but God still wanted me to play! Thank you again Pepe, for your amazing insight! Much Love!

Oh! Thank you, Pepe! I really needed your encouraging words! Looking at problems makes them seem so much larger and the feeling of weakness can overtake us ... Looking to our LORD puts so many things in perspective. These days can be overwhelming and looking up is the best view. In our weakness He is our strength and may all the glory be His.

Challenges in life, are God’s way of showing he has faith in you.

Sometimes, I wish God had less faith in me.

I know… he gives us as much as he knows we can handle. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed, as I will not give up!

At the Last Supper (Luke 22) Jesus said. "Simon, Simon, Satan has asked [some translations say "demanded"] to sift each of you like wheat. [Think Job...] But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith will not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”

If Jesus prayed this for Peter, He has prayed this for us. THAT, my fren, is the "secret" to why we don't give up. Blessings to you!
