Discover how you can let the confidence of your life trust in your GOD! Forget about the people, relationships, the job, world news, current affairs, and all the things that seem to slip away from our control. David says, "My soul trusts in you.... For my soul is among the lions (the Godly), and I lie among the men on fire (the prophets)..." and he strengthened himself in the lord when everyone was against him.

He never let the circumstances affect him, he was a man whose soul trusted in HIM!

If you’re like many women, you struggle sometimes with FOMO: the fear of missing out.
