When difficulties arise, it’s easy to turn to a trusted friend.

It’s easy to pour out your heart to someone who has been there by your side and supported you through the different seasons of your life. Calling up a friend and venting can be very therapeutic, but after that friend shares her advice and the phone call is over, nothing changes. The same obstacles you faced before are still staring you in the face.

I truly believe great friends are special gifts from heaven. However, all the wisdom we glean from a friend has no comparison to the power that awaits us if we put our faith in God.

God is always available to manifest His power in your life. God created all the beauty that surrounds us: the chirping birds, the colorful flowers, the endless blue sky, and the complex human mind, to name a few.

God created us to bear His image and to experience His love. When we put our faith in Him, the power of God begins to break strongholds in our lives and transform us as well.

Faith is like a match that ignites God’s power in your life. When problems arise, pause, pray, and put everything in the hands of One who has limitless power.
