He can Heal, Save, Restore and Provide

Your faith prospers when everything is against you. Your faith increases with every trial. No flowers wear so lovely a blue as those that grow at the edge of a glacier. No stars shine so bright as those that glisten in the polar sky. No water is sweeter than that which lives and triumphs in adversity.

Tested faith brings experience, and experience makes religion real. You will never know the bitterness of sin or the sweetness of pardon until you have felt both. You will never know your own weakness until you have been compelled to go through the rivers. You will never know God's strength until He has supported you in deep waters.

All the talk about religion that has not been personally experienced is just talk. If we have little experience, we cannot speak so positively as those whose experience has been deep and profound...

Faith increases in firmness, assurance, and intensity when it is exercised with trials. Praise Him for your trials, and you will have more and more of God's blessings until your faith will move mountains and nothing will be impossible (Matt. 17:20). Charles Spurgeon

It seems like only yesterday that there were so few trials around me. Now it seems like there are so many that I struggle with who to pray for first. Cancer, Coma, Migraines, Heart and Lung problems, Depression, MS, Jobs... this is just the tip of the prayer list iceberg.

Sometimes my heart can grow heavy praying for all of these requests, crying out to God for mercy, but my heart is full of faith to keep praying because I know the power of God. I know He can heal, save, restore and provide.

Let me ask you to join me in praying for one sweet child in particular, dear Livi. She is going through a hard day today. Please keep her in your prayers. Nothing is too difficult for Our Lord.

Thank you for your prayers.
