“Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; nor His ear heavy that it cannot hear.” Isaiah 59:1
God is more powerful that our circumstances, than anything that threatens to overwhelm us. There is no pit too deep, no emotion too commanding, no enemy too powerful, and no problem too large that God cannot reach down and save us from. So, what situation, question, emotion, problem, or enemy is threatening to overwhelm you right now? Do you believe that God’s hand can truly save you from that? What promise from God’s Word can you claim to underscore the peace and reassurance that truth should bring?
Also, from this verse we see that there is no silent cry of our heart that goes unheard by His ear. We never have to worry about God being too busy for us or fear that because we may not feel as spiritually “important” as the next guy that our prayers are not equally as important to our Father. What prayers do you feel like God has not heard, either because you haven’t seen them answered or because you do not feel His nearness? Are you willing to trust right now that He has heard and is working on your behalf (even this very second) to accomplish His best plan for your life?

Which sounds more enjoyable - going on a journey with close friends or going solo? There are probably many who would defend both sides of that question. For me, however, I'd much rather set off on an adventure with someone to share in my quest. I believe it enhances the fun, the observations I make along the way and the depth to which that journey takes me and endures in my memories. Together, the challenges don't seem quite as fierce or insurmountable and the mountaintops take on even more color and brilliance because the joy is compounded.
In a similar way, my walk with God deepens when I share what I'm learning with others and in return, hear what God is revealing to them. It reminds me I'm not alone - both in the celebration of God's amazing attributes and in the doubt and worry that plague humanity.
I want this to be a sacred place where I can share what God is teaching me and hear from others who want nothing more than to know God personally. So, I welcome you to this site. Read. Comment. Question. Teach. For in doing this journey of faith in Jesus Christ together, I believe we gain the opportunity to know Him more fully and leave a little bit more conformed to His Image.

I love that verse. This is SO what I needed to hear today! Wow! I've been reminded of my unbelief this week & what that says about my faith. So painful to realize, but in a good way because that means growth is coming:)
I happened to click on the link to your blog here tonight, and read your post from today it was EXACTLY what I needed to hear. I hope your week has been great thus far!
