God knows that because He created us this way. <br /><br />When things are difficult in our lives, as they are presently in yours, we do not lose Faith. In fact, Faith increases. the very fact that we keep on praying, no matter how tired we are of praying, and the fact that we ask others to pray for us, is in itself a sign that we still have Faith.<br /><br />Please trust in God. His will be done in love for you and yours.<br /><br />I am praying for all of you.<br /><br />God bless.

I remember now that whenever I would ask for it, it was given to me. Thanks again.

Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus."<br />The Lord is always faithful and true.
