Faith believes what the eye cannot see, what the ear cannot hear but what the heart knows without a doubt is true! The promises of Christ will never fail you no matter where you are or what battle you are facing. Nothing is too hard for the hand of God to take you through and to raise you above. You must keep your faith and not doubt no matter how strong the winds are that come against you. They may rock your boat but they will never sink your ship when Christ is at the helm!
I could not have said it better than the poet and believer Ella Wheeler Wilcox did. She mirrors the words of the Apostle Paul who said:
“For I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able to guard that which I give to him for this day.” ( 2 Timothy 1:12)
“ I will not doubt though all my ships at sea,
Come drifting home with broken masts and sails,
I shall believe the Hand that never fails,
From seeming evil worketh good for me.
And though I weep because those sails are battered,
Still will I cry, while my best hopes lie shattered,
‘I trust in Thee’ ”
Ella Wheeler Wilcox -1850- 1919
To anyone who is facing a trial that is making you weary and fearful, please know that you are not alone. The eyes of God are upon you and he will not fail to take you through your pain if you will put your trust in him.
I am interceding on behalf of all who need to know this truth. Christ will always be bigger than the problems you face. He has defeated all of your enemies and nothing has the power to alter the perfect plan that he has for your life.
Be in peace and stay strong. I lift up prayers for all who come to this site.

So timely and beautiful. Thank you.
MOVE THAT MOUNTAIN
And when all seems like it is lost
And those that surround you, that you love at all cost
Are walking along a different road
So are unable to help you carry the load
And when there is darkness from a mountain in sight
One that cannot be conquered without a brave fight
Cry out to Him who has already trod the path
Take His hand, don’t let go, though demons may laugh
And make you feel guilty, unworthy, unloved
Incapable to surrender all cares to above
Reach out, reach out, step in time with the Saviour
The mountain can’t harm you with Jesus your Saviour
That mountain that threatens your very existence
Creates shadows and fears, doubts and resistance
Listen within for His saving still, small voice
For you can move mountains, with Him as your source

That was really beautiful, Liana. Your poetic talent just puts the message out in plain view. We all need to trust that God is enough especiallyy when it seems like he isn’t! He is the source of all of our strength. He is the victory in our battles. He is the Master over the wind and the waves of trouble we face. He is the lifter of our head. He is our hope when we have none of our own. And he is our all in all!
God bless you for stopping and commenting. I really appreciate it!
