Remaining Confident When We Feel Like Giving Up
“Confidence is not based on you having all the resources needed to take care of yourself; confidence is based upon the truth that God is faithful.” ~ Roy Lessin

When bad news comes our way, we needn’t cave into fear. As followers of Jesus Christ, we belong to the living God for whom nothing is impossible.
When life’s journey takes a difficult turn, our emotions want to cry, “Unfair!” or “Why me?” But God’s Word directs us to take a different approach.
How easy it is to spout off when we feel our opinion is not being respected. Or when we’re bone weary. Or when we believe the person is flat-out wrong.
If we take Jesus seriously, then we can rest assured that trusting in God is the better way to respond. Here are five good reasons for choosing that better way.
Our role in our relationship with Him is to tune our ear to listen so we can hear it above the din of so many other voices calling for our attention.
Waiting can either drive us crazy or become a rich experience that draws us into a deeper, sweeter walk with the Lord. We’re in control of the outcome.
Whatever questions we ask, we can rest assured that God hasn’t left us to answer them on our own. He’s promised to guide, advise, and lead us.
Several years ago I began choosing one special word at the start of a new year. For 2017, my one word is “see.” Here are a few thoughts that it brings to mind.
For each of the past five years or so, the Lord’s given me one special word on which to focus. Beyond a doubt, my word for 2016 is “great.”
Even when emotions tell us that He is far away, the truth remains–He is with us. May this truth encourage you today, my friend.
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change (James 1:17)
Absolutely. It doesn’t guarantee the results we want or the timing we wish, but it moves God to action. A recent phone call reminded me of this truth.
People gain respect for those who are honest and transparent. And when we admit our faults, others feel free to do the same.
I’ve heard much about the importance of believing God’s Word. Now I’ve discovered two gems that solidify my conviction. Here they are, buried in Paul’s prayer.
