Days like this do happen … “Some days I get a little tired and confused. Reading your book, I see that sometimes that might happen some days.”
That is why I wrote the book … to show a God who loves us in a world that tosses us from side to side, but to encourage hanging on tight to get through well by stepping firm and solid in FAITH! Attached is “a post it” I love for discernment! I noticed that it hooked my album together and that is okay, perhaps you will be blessed by another picture … PS the fish, we found it floating like that & we separated and set them free…and so does Jesus separate us from sin and set us free. Just as they swam … so must we. I hope it is a blessing to you as well!

Always remember this here: You are Created in the image and likeness of God and Greater is HE who is in you than he that is in the world!
The JOY of the LORD is your strength to walk through what seems unchartered, but you can with God by your side!
If you remember in the book (if you have read that far or found it written yet) I didn’t pray for our situation when we had a need … I prayed for HOW.
Then, I didn’t budge until I heard from the Lord! “Be still and know that I am God” was my Ancor! I needed that Word of GOD that I trusted to hold on tight to my faith!
and what happened was that God helped me in my weakness grow into His strength! We did exactly what God told us to do in FAITH … nothing more/nothing less. And when the pressure come to me to become worried –I resisted that temptation by turning to God in praise and honesty!
Don’t allow these kind of pressures to come IN you … they WILL come TO you, but don’t allow them to come in you…Trust God and step in Faith. my “faith stepping” verses are from Proverbs:
Proverbs 16:3 & 9
Amplified Bible (AMP)
3 Roll your works upon the Lord [commit and trust them wholly to Him; He will cause your thoughts to become agreeable to His will, and] so shall your plans be established and succeed.
9 A man’s mind plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps and makes them sure.
The Bible says in James 4:7, 1)“Submit yourselves, then, to God. 2)Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”
Jude 1:20 says, “Build your self UP in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit.”
I have come to learn that tests and trials are more of a challenge to us to build our character to be molded to trust God and also in Jesus as we follow in faith in step with the Spirit of God!
So, as the Bible also says in John 14:1 [and it helps me OFTEN]: “Do not LET your heart be troubled, Believe / Trust in God and also believe / trust in Jesus.”
Yes, I am praying for you and will continue to be praying for you! God has you in the palm of His hand if you will just place your troubles and worries in His.
That is so easy to say, but to do … Well, it is a bit tuffer! “Cast your cares on the Lord” Is not in the natural, but rather the supernatural!
And, so also is your provider, HE does things by GRACE, which is unconceivable to the natural eye to all God can do and DOES do, but if we just hang tight to Him and DON”T give up before we see that breakthrough light, then we will know that God was working it all together for the good to them that love Him…EVEN before we could see, but we trusted Him. (Romans 8:28 emphasis mine)
My love and prayers to you,
Karen Rowe
