God's Not Mad at You, in Fact He Loves YouShembull

Dare to live a life with purpose; decide daily to serve God and do good, and you will prosper in everything.

I am categorized as a person who dreams awake. It's how God made me. I choose whether to live a life with or without purpose. I will not let anyone steal the joy of the Lord. If they steal it from me, they take away my strength.

Many people in the world feel upset, with no will to live, a lot of sadness, and no hope. I know because I was one of them, lamenting why bad things happen and asking myself why I was not moving forward at the pace I wanted. Everything changed when I decided to follow Christ and believe in Him.

Note what I said, many people believe in God but do not believe in Him. They live with doubts and regrets. I decided to believe Him, and everything changed. If someone tells me, "You can't do anything," I change it to, "I can do everything in Christ who strengthens me." If someone tells me, "You do not know anything," I say, "my wisdom comes from the Lord." His Word says if anyone lacks wisdom, ask Him, and He will give it to them, and I believed in Him. I believe in Him.

Who do you believe in? Do you think there is a God but don't believe Him? I challenge you to write in your journal and meditate on this. When someone asks me to pray for them, my question is, do you believe in God? God's Word says to be anxious for nothing, that in everything in prayer and supplication we present our requests to Him, and we will have that peace that surpasses all understanding. So why are we anxious? Simply because we are not resting in what He tells us and can do. I challenge you to believe in God first and foremost.
