Sometimes God says no because he wants you to delve deeper into faith, into understanding the universe, into believing in him even if you don’t always agree or understand why he does things the way he does.

“

To be honest, it was kind of freaking me out. It was as if God was saying: “Here he is! I’ve been waiting to introduce you! He’s right here! Stop being so stubborn and skeptical and just pay attention!”

“

I want to let God wander with me. I want to let him stand by me as I let life unfold, and I want him to lead me to unexpected places.

“

I lead with my heart and Your spirit, encouraging me to live my life by Your virtue, Your grace alone.

“

God, I am truly sorry for the times when I thought that if I prayed hard enough, you would change the outcome of a situation in my life.

“

I have faith in his lessons and his timing. I have faith in his losses and his blessings.

“

You tell me to have faith, and God, I am really trying.

“

What if we could switch the narrative? What if I told you, the possibility exists, the possibility that things can and will get better?

“

Those of you who say people are not capable of changing themselves are right, but what we can do is allow God to ignite change within us.
