We might struggle to make good decisions because we’re overwhelmed with choices, afraid of making a wrong choice, or we let our emotions overrule logic. Which of these reasons do you experience most?

[@larissalee6952]

Emotions😳 but these past couple years in GOD is speaking to me, helping me along the way.. I've loved and had Christ all my life, but thb I am proud to say that I am a baby Christian! Just staring... Trying .. to learn.. to hear Jesus! It's want always!! So GOD IS RIGHT HERE THROUGH YOUR SERMON! SO I KNOW THAT I AM ON THE RIGHT PATH I'VE PRAY FOR.. just hanging in there🙏💖 always remembering who my JESUS IS!

[@versiekrueger8335]

Pastor Craig. I love u and Amy and I try to tell everyone to watch ur videos ! Please Pray for.me bc I have fallen off the grid a little.. listening to these videos daily and enduring the Bible. I have gotten busy with family and need Prayers to keep God's book in my priority list! Church I have been trying to stay on top of tho!

[@versiekrueger8335]

I do, do youversion everyday. But actually pulling out my pretty Bible and touching the pages, I feel like I've neglected it!

[@larissalee6952]

Jesus is a multiplier! I get the same feeling of neglecting, but I trust in GOD'S timing, he knows what's best for us! And know that he will make any time we "thought" we lost or think we're losing, into the most wonderful time we can have with him! I've come learn and know and love to trust and wait on him! I know patience is difficult, but he has a way through that!🙏🌺 JUST TRUST THAT HE DOES! I LOVE JESUS AND YOU ALLL

[@purityvsprofanity2962]

Pastor Craig's story reminded me of a funny incident in my school a few years ago! So I went to the restroom early one morning and then, I guess it wasn't my lucky day, the door knob broke off! So I was locked inside. I got really scared and started to panic. So I decided I'd climb the wall and go through the tiny space at the top and land in the room next to me. But when i got up there, it was higher than i thought and also almost impossible to climb down. I had to wait for some one to walk in and help me get down. Luckily the first person that walked in was a nice girl and she never said anything about it to anyone. It would have been very embarrassing since i was also the school president. Thanks pastor for the message!

[@life.church]

Great story! Thank you for sharing!

[@Maria-jo6nn]

I will be with you every 6 weeks 🙌

[@Silver-cl2bd]
