The Rainbow Connection

Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.—Genesis 9:16 (NIV)

The Life You Want

Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”—Mark 9:24 (NIV)

Are you living the life you want? If not, why not? Is doubt stealing your desire to go after your dreams? Have faith and trust that your dreams come from within you and God. Release all doubt, and believe that you can achieve what your heart desires.

Father God, when doubt tempts me to settle for something I am not happy with, strengthen my faith and help me to believe.
