You can experience serenity, in spite of your challenges. Because He is bigger and better than anything that you will ever face. He is faithful to encourage and protect your heart and keep your mind. You don’t have to worry, just pray. ADaubon

We live in a microwave society. We want what we want right now and right away. Often we have this same expectation with God. We want Him to move on our behalf expeditiously and swiftly.

Don’t give up until you get everything you need from God. God is working on your behalf, even when it may not look or feel like it. Only God knows the reason for His timetable. You can have hope and faith that He will keep you while you wait. Trust me, He is worth the wait.

In Him you will find your peace, healing, deliverance, strength and power. All that you need is in Him. No matter how you are feeling today, seek Him.
