February 10, 2021: As We Wait on the Lord, Let Us Not Grow Weary. Let Us Trust in God's Promises.

In today's world our circumstances can sometimes become too heavy to carry. The weight of our burdens can become unbearable at times. We cry out to God and wait for an answer, but at times His answer does not seem to come in time, or we get a different answer than we expected. What do we do at times like these?

January 18, 2021: God's Ways Are Not Our Ways. How Can We Change Our Perspective to How God Sees It?

February 19, 2020-Chapter 1 - Question: 7

We fear of; "What's God going to make me do?"; "Do I have to sell everything I own and live as a street person to evangelize for Him?". or, "Will I have to go to Africa?". There is so much that we fear of God and have so little trust and faith in our Loving Father. For me, at my time of absolute surrender, I had no choice but to surren
