It may seem that he has been distant and he is not as present in your life as he used to be, but he is still there.

“

When you feel like you can’t go on, lean on him during the days of hardship. He will never put you through something you can’t handle.

“

God, I’m asking you, please believe in me the way I believe in you.

“

When you don’t understand the season you’re in, it’s okay to doubt God. But it doesn’t mean he’s left you in the dark.

“

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.
