Sometimes God says no! It’s an answer to prayer we don’t often want to hear, especially if the solution is well within His power to say yes and would benefit us or those we love.

When the pressure of life is upon us, it is our enemy’s desire to rob us of the certainty that God can use even our trouble to show us His goodness and bring us to victory!
One of the things that hinders our full dependence on God is a gift that He gave us. It’s called freewill. We get to choose what we will do.
The Scripture records that faith comes by hearing. I submit to you that doubt and fear come the same way. Whatever you consistently devote yourself to will manifest when trouble comes.
One main difference between Judas and Peter was that Judas had a plan.
Judas made a plan for his betrayal. Peter’s denial of Jesus was impulsive, and I believe, grounded in fear.
When you know the Scriptures, you can readily see that one man’s greed and deception led to his deeds of betrayal. The other man’s weakness led him to choices of shame and regret.
Our Lord is aware of our talents, strengths, and weaknesses. He sees our flaws and knows all about our mistakes, but it doesn’t deter him from placing His hand on us.
God is not from here, He doesn’t do things they way we do! He always chooses the most unlikely candidates to bring His will and purpose to pass.
