With God’s help life will be better than we ever imagined or thought possible.

Who can show us the way out of darkness into the light? Jesus says He is the Light and if we follow Him, we won’t have to walk in darkness but will have the Light that gives life.

Only obedience to the Word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit can keep us from returning to familiar patterns.

God cares about our suffering and promises to be with us in it and over and over again we’ve experienced His healing help.  However, change and healing don’t often come instantly and so another way God helps us is to invite us to keep in perspective whatever way we are suffering today.

Who of us understands why we think and feel and react the way we do?  Life seems to be going along relatively well and then something “out-of-the-blue” happens and our emotions are tipped over the edge or our thoughts go into negative overdrive. We think, say, or do things that are ugly and so far from what we long to do.  Ask us to explain why we did it and we often can’t even tell you. The Bible tells us to: Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life. How do we do that?

We often wonder what the right course of action is and can become confused and anxious. God has very simple instructions for us to refocus us and steady us: Trust in the Lord and do good.
