There is something in one or all of these statements for you. They take less than 60 seconds to read but their influence can have unlimited potential in your life.

Nothing is impossible for God…that has always spoken to me.
Great! Thank you for letting me know.
Wow, so powerful. I am refreshed by these statements. Earlier in the morning I reflected back to my student days. I liked school and loved learning and generally got top marks. Before most exams I would pray that God would help me to do well on my exam. I completely believed He would. All my anxious thoughts would dissipate as soon as my prayer was spoken. I had complete confidence then. I struggle these days, wanting to get that belief and confidence back in me. The statements above are encouraging. Thank you so much Pastor Bob.
Carol, keep believing in the process and principle of prayer. You may not “feel” the same you did but prayer still works the same way. Have confidence that God cares and is answering. Glad the thoughts were as inspiring to you as they were to me!
I connect with 12. Every challenge encountered is an opportunity for growth. It is during our most difficult times that we learn the most about ourselves. It is so comforting to know that Jesus is with us every step of the way.
So true. The footprints poem comes to mind when thinking about going through difficult times. Thank you for joining the conversation!
I have dealt with bouts of anxiety in the past. God has used each of these circumstances to grow my faith and relationship with him. Through the storm comes the light and I have over and over been reminded that He is always there with plan and purpose.
Great thought – “…through the storm comes the light…” Good testimony of God’s faithfulness.
The footprints poem has helped me through some difficult times. Also the full version of the Serenity poem has been very helpful to me. I have learned that that in going through the pain, even though it may not be over yet, I am getting stronger over time. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
That poem has helped so many people…just like you are doing with your inspiring story, Patricia. Thank you.
“You’re here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept.” Jesus
This resonates; highlights the purpose of life. The other verse that is my current favorite is 1 Peter 2:9 “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
Emphasis on …out of darkness into his wonderful light. Jesus is the light of the world, and just as He is so am I… wherever I go, people should see the light in me so as to give glory to my father who is in heaven, as I declare His praises, tell of His wonderful deeds especially now that there is so much darkness and evil happening privately and publicly.
Good Morning Pastor Bob. #5 definitely resonates with me. “Life is like photography. You need the negatives to develop.” Isn’t that the truth? There are certainly a lot of “speed bumps” on the journeys in our lives. Thank you for sharing this blog with us. Have a great day! ❣️
