Do not be afraid; just have faith.” Mark 5:36
– Forget what fear tells you. Your faith can make a difference. You can stand in the gap – between life and death, healing and destruction – for those whose faith is weak or non-existent. God will show you how.

This quote can never be more relevant than ever!

This quote from poet and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson is a simple reminder thatwe often prepare endlessly while never actually actively pursue what it is that we want. Practice is certainly important, but without applying it to real action it is nearly pointless.
It’s easy to get in a path of endless...
