I can talk a good game but when things get tough my knees buckle.  Yet the times I do step out in faith God has always blessed them and me in the process.

He\u2019ll always be there to help me, but I need to trust Him and allow Him to take charge of this life He has given me.  My ultimate goal each day is to bring a smile to my Father\u2019s face and know that He is pleased with me, but only through faith.<\/p>\n<p>Prayer: My Lord I belief, help me with my unbelief.  I so desperately want to please you and live a life that glorifies you, but I need your help to do it.  Increase my faith and help me stay focused on you.  I love you with all of my heart, mind and soul, draw me close.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scripture: Hebrews 11: [6] And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
