Believing in God can have a fundamental impact on your life. It can give you courage and strength during times of great difficulties. Similarly, by trusting in God’s plan, you will be able to better cope with suffering and tragic events in your life.

In an increasingly pessimistic and cynical world, it can often be quite difficult to be a faithful and devoted Christian. When there are sin and wickedness all around, it’s often tough to trust in God’s plan for your own life and the entire world without the shadow of a doubt.

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

Paul David Washer

The truth of this moment, if we let it sweep over us, is stunning. It means Jesus really is who he claimed to be, we are really as lost as he said we are, and he really is the only way for us to intimately and spiritually connect with God again.”
