If only you knew how many times it was God… not luck, not me — just God. Every time 🙏🏾

2025/7/18 Edited to

... Read moreUnderstanding and acknowledging God's influence in our lives is a cornerstone of Christian faith. The belief that "Every door, every dollar, every coincidence and opportunity" is guided by God emphasizes the importance of spiritual gratitude and humility. This perspective encourages believers to view their achievements and blessings not as a result of mere chance or self-effort, but as manifestations of divine will. Faith communities often highlight the principle that God’s plans surpass human understanding, which aligns with scriptures such as Proverbs 3:5-6, urging trust in the Lord rather than relying solely on one’s own insight. Recognizing God's role promotes a mindset of surrender and openness to His guidance, impacting decision-making and nurturing a deeper relationship with Him. In practical terms, believers are encouraged to remain vigilant in prayer and self-reflection, seeking God's direction in every aspect of life. This includes embracing challenges as opportunities for growth and divine intervention rather than obstacles borne from random luck or personal failure. Moreover, sharing testimonies of God's faithfulness can strengthen community bonds and inspire others to keep faith active in their own journeys. The tags associated with this article—#christianity, #godswill, #christians—reflect a community centered on spirituality and support for one another in acknowledging divine influence. This message resonates widely, inspiring Christians to cultivate awareness of God's continuous presence and fostering hope and confidence grounded in faith, not just chance or personal merit.

Sometimes God want us to change what we doing
I have been working on a project for five days. I was doing something I have done many times before. I just knew I knew what I was doing. But… it just would not work for me. It made me so frustrated for three straight days. The last two days I decided that I would just leave the project alone.

Coaching Success because I failed many times!
I know I don’t have it all together. Each day I am learning more about myself and the world around me. I guess it is the constant change that is requiring me to grow and change. As a little girl I could only dream of these moments. I remember wanting to be able to sustain and provide for myself.
