Satan loves to condemn us, whispering in our ear that God really hasn’t done anything for us or else we would be (richer, more sucessful, thinner or more popular – you pick your poison!). He says your field of dreams is full of weeds and you’ll never succeed. What can give us greater peace and courage? A heart that is strong and hopeful. Without hope we have nothing. Where does that come from? God. How do we receive it? We need to use all our faculties – mind (reasoning), body (trained for health) and soul (a stronger heart, a connection to God through His Word and through prayer). He just wants us to come to Him with the faith that He is on our side. “If He is for us, who can stand against us?”
