Someone once said, “Bad habits are like a comfortable bed, easy to get into but hard to get out of.” Many times, we need assistance to help us get out of a negative situation. We can call on God. Many times He answers prayer through another person. Pray and be watchful. “God is our refuge […]
If you are anything like me, you’ve made your share of mistakes. Some of them, to us, seem small, some are large and shameful. The enemy wants us to hang all of those mistakes on us every day. Even though we’ve already confessed them to God, the enemy wants us to constantly think about our […]

If you are anxious, God can give you peace (1 Peter 5:6-7). “…because, the One who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.”(1 John 4:4) “Because […]
