Trusting God is easy when our plans come together the way we want. But when things don’t go our way, we tend to focus on the negative and doubt God’s plan. Like Peter, we begin to falter when we take our eyes off Jesus and look at the storm around us.
In this episode, I share how I lost sight of this and how a perfectly timed devotion and words from a friend brought me back and helped me focus on the good in the situation.
We also pray that you will be strengthened with all his glorious power so you will have all the endurance and patience you need. May you be filled with joy, always thanking the Father. He has enabled you to share in the inheritance that belongs to his people, who live in the light. For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son, who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins.
