God wants you to believe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than anything else, belief is what God wants most.  Believe God exists, that He is real, and His promises are true.  I know how hard believing is at times.  Especially when the world around you is following apart, and you can\u2019t control what is happening. God\u2019s presence and consistency are what get us through those moments.  Even though we feel out of sorts, God never does.  God is always in control, His plan unfolding one day at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, my husband and I had the privilege of attending Lauren Daigle\u2019s World Tour Concert<\/a>. \u201cYou Say<\/a>\u201d is my go-to song when life is pressing in on me.  When the world is winning and my belief is struggling, I play the words on repeat, listening until my faith strengthens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are loved!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou say I am loved when I can\u2019t feel a thing<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You say I am strong when I think I am weak<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And you say I am held when I am falling short<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And when I don\u2019t belong, oh You say I am Yours<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I believe (I)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, I believe (I)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What You say of me (I)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I believe\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today\u2019s picture is confetti that fell from the ceiling during the concert.  Before Lauren sang \u201cYou Say,\u201d letters written to her from listeners scrolled across the screen.  The last one was a young man, sitting in his car, watching trucks driving on the road, wondering which one would kill him.  As he began to put his foot on the pedal, \u201cYou Say\u201d came on the radio and saved his life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God is with you in your dark moments.\u00a0 He will provide a way for you.\u00a0 Trust what God\u2019s promises say.\u00a0 Believe, just believe.\u00a0 All God wants is for you to believe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
