Faith over feelings
In my devotional this morning, I read a profound statement, “Don’t let your feelings dictate your faith.” How many times have you allowed your feelings to dictate yours? For me, it’s an amount I’m too embarrassed to share, but one thing I will share is that no matter how many times my feelings towards God…

A.S.K. God
Clarity Prayer Direction Promotion Breakthrough Healing Forgiveness It doesn’t matter what your issues are. All God wants you to do is: Ask Seek Knock Sometimes it will take years of doing before God acts. However, always remember God works at an appointed time and not on ours.

Just be honest
For the past four years, I’ve had many hills to climb and unlike the song, “I did complain.” In fact, I complained more than I did pray. Over a period of time, my complaints rapidly turned into anger towards God. I started to pull away from Him, not pray to Him, not obey Him, and…

Any minute now
My dentist office is probably one of the fastest places I’ve ever gone to with the shortest amount of wait time. In fact, there have been appointments I’ve had where I walked in the door, signed in, sat down, only to be called within minutes of being seated. I didn’t tarry long, because it was…

Come through
One thing I know about God to be true, is that He will come through for you! Simply put, He will do exactly as needed and expected. You won’t have to wonder or question if He’ll keep His word, because it’s been proven that His word is His bond and it cannot be broken or…

Getting through the blues
Yesterday during church service, my Pastor made the statement, “You can’t always sing the blues,” in reference to when you’re going through difficulties in life.
