Welcome to A Journey Through Faith! I pray that you will find this blog very inspirational and motivational. The purpose of this blog is to share my own personal and real life experiences with God to others with the use of Biblically based solutions. It is my desire to share with you my own personal experiences involving a difficult marriage, domestic violence and domestic abuse (emotional, physical, spiritual, financial, mental and verbal), abandonment, parenthood, adult child and parent issues, rejection, and other ordinary life experiences that we all run into in one way or another here on earth. My goal is to minister to those in need from all walks of life. I want to help others become restored and made whole again by renewing their faith in God. The tools that I use to minister to others is through songs of praise in words of psalms, poems, columns, personal testimonies, devotions, prayers and scriptures. I am hoping that by sharing my life as an open book, in some way it will inspire everyone to reach for a higher, deeper and more intimate relationship with our Almighty God and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I want all of you to walk by faith and not by sight! (2 Corinthians 5:7) I want every believer to wear the whole armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18) without fear and walk boldly in the knowledge of who they are in Christ! We are children of the most High God and because we are His children, He wants a relationship with us. Contrary to what other faiths and religions preach, He is not harsh, contradicting, or passive. Society (television, talk shows, celebrities, etc.) have painted a very poor picture of who Jehovah really is. They are not giving a true account of His character. About Minister Faith From my own personal struggles with life, I discovered the power of living victoriously through Christ by applying God’s Word to my life and desires to help others through my writing. I believe in writing ope

Are you having difficulty making ends meet? Are you worried that you may not be able to make your next payment? Do you have mouths to feed and bodies to clothe, but you are unsure if you can do it? You are not alone. Everyday, especially in today’s economy with the rising cost of health care, housing, food and other necessities, there are people just like you who are unsure of what tomorrow may bring. They do not know if they will have a job, a house, utilities, food, clothing, money, or even some form of transportation to help them get to a job. In fact, worrying about everything appears to be the only thing that makes any sense right now!
The dictionary describes worry as “mental distress or agitation resulting from concern: torment.” Just think about it. Worrying is nothing but distress and agony on the soul. It causes nothing but mental anguish and physical illness. We all know that experiencing worry is a natural part of life and everyone encounters it one way or another. However, what people fail to understand is that although there are many reasons for people to worry, they honestly do not have to put up with it. People can actually choose to confront and handle any problem without having to resort to worry!
I believe there are two things that anyone wishing to overcome worrying must do:
1. Know that God will meet your needs.
In the Bible God reminds us that He will always meet our needs (see Matthew 6:25-34). Worry often leads us to ask ourselves all sorts of questions that can’t be answered, such as: What if I cannot make my payment tomorrow? What if I am always struggling like this? How am I going to get to my destination tomorrow? What if I become sick? How am I going to provide for my family? How am I going to make ends meet? How…how…how? These questions can linger for days and chances are you will not have the answers to any of them. But as long as you know that the Lord is with you, you can be assured that He has all the answers you need.
2. Increase your faith in Him.
The Bible tells us that we should have faith in God (see Mark 11:22). If we have even a little faith in God the size of a mustard seed (see Matthew 17:20) He will give us peace through our storms (see Numbers 6:26). Having this kind of faith means that no matter how bad or extreme a problem is in our lives, we can withstand it because God is with us. This may be easier said than done, but when you honestly look back over your life and see just how far God has brought you, it really isn’t at all difficult learning how to develop faith in Him.
