There is great peace in the knowledge of the father-child relationship the Christian has with God.

  1. I was needing some reassurance…if you can brothers and sisters, keep me in prayer for my trail I feel God is setting upon me

  2. Mike,
    You are not alone, we will keep you in our prayers. We do not go through trials alone, He is with us and gives the strength and wisdom to see us through. Trials aren’t sent to crush us, they are sent to refine us; your present trial will come to an end, however, there are more to come.

    Bless you
    Lyn

    That was truly eye opening, and the most profound part in my eyes is that the lord picks me, a sinner, to refine.
