All things, my word clearly tells you
Are possible always, through me.”

Or be sure of the way to proceed?”

Will be straight if you follow my lead”~

I can’t help but feel depressed.”

Don’t trouble your heart or feel fear.

And will guard o’er your heart and your mind.
You asked, so I give it freely
Just seek and, I promise, you’ll find.
Philippians 4 verse 7Matthew 7 verse 7

So go in my strength without fear child
I’m with you, do not be dismayed.
My grace is sufficient for you child
In your weakness, my power is displayed”
2 Corinthians 12 verse 9

 

Being a Christian does not mean that life is easy or full of nothing but happy days. What it does mean is that life has a new purpose and that every challenge in life comes with the help of a Father God who cares, and who provides for our needs and asks only love and faithfulness in return.

All of these specific bible promises have been of help to me at some time or other, and I hope will be to you too.
