When someone comes alongside you and speaks truth

Remember these things:

•Keep your focus on Christ! Don't focus on the mess all around you, don't break your gaze for a second.
•For where envying and strife is there is confusion and every evil work.
•Do not be afraid or discouraged for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you. He will strengthen you and help you. He will hold you up with his victorious right hand!
• He will do this for you. You know it and I know it.
• Most of all trust God is with you! He never fails!

My wife, Trish, came alongside me in my need (time of despair and discouragement) and spoke biblicallybased truth into my life. 

May the Everlasting God strengthen us!

An abundant life

Lord, I want an abundant life. But help me to delight myself in You first and foremost, and trust you for the desires of my heart. Help me to never look to anyone or anything else for happiness, and instead look to you as the only One who can give true fulfillment. I put you at the center of my life and my dreams, and ask you to help my friends and family do the same. Amen.
