For me, it has been so easy to doubt God’s love. With all of the voices around me and the constant pressure from the world, holding on to God’s truth has been difficult. Does God really love me?

There are times when I have been so busy. Times when I have rushed through each day. I lived every day on autopilot. Doing my responsibilities and necessities without thinking beyond what had to be done. During these times I knew I needed rest. So I would make myself rest for a short while before completing the next thing on my to-do list. Even on the weekends, I would spend time scheduling my week and coming up with more things that had to be accomplished in the upcoming month. And sadly, during these times my relationship with the Lord was…

We have all lived through times of confusion. Whether it be confusion in our world, in the lives of those we know, or in our own lives.

It contains so much truth that will help you combat the lies and…
