When you’re struggling with personal matters it’s so easy to look to God and say “why me?” but why not me. We all struggle but it is after our deepest struggles we find out how powerful our faith is and our strength to persevere. Keep pushing forward.

A dear friend of mine is struggling with severe neck issues and chronic pain as a result. She will likely need major surgery but is very scared. What is your go to bible passage when you have a major dilemma and need to be reminded of God’s love?

I was asked today how many people have I brought to Jesus? My response was “I don’t know.” I’ve talked to a lot of people about the Lord but I’m not boisterous. I’m an introvert when I’m around a large group, not an excuse, I’m being honest. A good portion of my life, I spoke very little, often feeling like I was being judged. I now speak to more people than I ever have before. What I like to do is talk about the priest at my church (he’s terrific) and a lady that I met, in my shop, has been joining me at church. I send out a prayer every day to a growing group of ladies that love the Lord. I’ve read and now am re-reading the Bible. I suppose what I’m saying is that I speak to people one on one about the Lord and although my numbers may not be great, I’ve worked hard at being comfortable with being uncomfortable. Is it enough?…would love feedback.

I often hear people say that God puts messages on their hearts, while others say he communicates with them in the middle of the night. For the longest time I did not hear God's messages to me. I was straining so hard to hear Him that I missed messages that came via other means. For example, the other day I was thinking about our finances and found myself stressed and the next day I got on the Holy Bible app. I send out a daily prayer to a lovely group of ladies and the prayer was "But my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." It stated that we have God as our Father, who is able to provide us with ease. This is why we do not panic where troubling situations come. Your only focus should be trusting in God - nothing else! Wow! I thought to myself this was directly meant for me. I believe God communicates with each of us differently, we just need to find His voice.
