There are times when God takes things from us and other times when we pray for things we think we need and God does not give them to us. God’s best is not something to fear; He not only knows what is best for you, He wants you to have His best! If we truly believed this it would produce such rest, peace and joy in us! We would not grieve over letting go of things; we would know we’ve been set free from all bondage!

God speaks all the time, but the only way to hear his voice is to become silent and listen. -  Have a Blessed morning my friends Psalm 46- “Be still and know that I am God.”
