"dont be afraid, only believe"-jesus

when times look uncertain
when we think our problems are too big
is when we have lost faith
a friend said
"the end of anxiety is the beginning of true faith,
and the beginning of anxiety is the end of faith"
kinda makes sense
that if God put together the universe
and we are more important than five sparrows
that he is faithful to take care of us
ppl created in his image
he knows the number of hairs on our heads
come on, you dont think he knows
that you have like 100 bucks
no job, no house, and alot of plans
those walking a life like Christ
walking in God's will are provided for already
he has told us
dont worry bout what your gonna eat
dont worry bout what your gonna wear
God will provide

and the test that God has put before you
you may not understand why
or what he is trying to teach you
i know i ask God alot of questions
but i feel like there is a point when you just have to stand up
face the fact that God has given you his word
his guidance
stand up and realize you have to listen to him
sometimes its easy, most the time i would say it isn't
but in the end
it brings glory to him and he will bless you
i have to remind myself constantly
this life is not my own
this is a battle for souls
this is alot more than i can see at this moment
he is more than likely preparing me for something
something im currently not ready to face
and he promises not to give you more than you can handle
thank you Jesus for your grace
your mercy that is new EVERY morning

my prayer is for our generation
we lack discipline, respect and are ungrateful
renew this generation Lord
let us rise up and bring glory to your name
Jesus give us strength
give me strength
for i am an unworthy hypocrite.
in the name of Christ Jesus, Amen.

"why?"

why? Is a question we ask God alot
in a place where i feel like i know im in Gods will
i have found myself asking "why?"
and i know you are too
why in the middle of certainty and comfort
would one's circumstances change in a way that it
would cause them to question there position
"is God asking something new of me?"
"is he asking me to step out of my comfort zone?"
"is God teaching me something"
"why?"
i know if your asking yourself this
and you feel the way that i do
your miserable
or uncertain at the least of what should be done
im praying God will show me the answer
im praying his will be done in my life
i hope im not praying for my own selfish desire's
im praying for you
im praying for him
im praying for us
i cant help but look at you and imagine
God helping us live out our lives together
to our fullest potential for him
i wanna grown in Christ with you
i want to kiss your scars
i want God to heal our pain
i want to see you looking back at me with selfless love
i want to hold you with the purest of intentions
i want it if God wants it for me
i find it hard not to believe everything happens
for a reason and i know you would agree
there is more at work here than we can fully see
