The Marvel of Faith

I want to tell you that having Faith is truly a marvelous thing. My stress level has dropped dramatically since I have come to know our Lord and Savior. The more I study God's word, the more I understand his desire to provide for those who trust in Him.

I believe that God has put each of us here for a reason. I feel the major reason is to give us the opportunity to love him and be a part of His Kingdom. He has given us the freedom to make a choice. He has provided us with all the information and evidence that we need in order to make that choice.

It is evident through God's word that we were not put here to suffer. He promises to provide all that we need and all that we desire. He has promised an abundant life to anyone who believes and follows his Word.

Jesus himself said "And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive." This statement from our Lord has no qualifiers. It has no limits. Jesus did not in anyway put restrictions on what we might receive. He left what we may ask for wide open.

The keyword in Jesus' statement is believing. You may not get what you pray for unless you truly and fully believe in Him and His ability to give it to you. This is the magic of Faith. If you know the Lord, if you truly believe in Him, if you trust Him fully, and you follow His Word, then you will never need to worry about anything.
