These words are like new, fresh and out of the box. I'm at ease by just reading them over and over, because I come from a situation where my sons were born out of wedlock and was beating myself up; as I raise them daily I always ask God why are they 2, how will i manage with everything. But these word are like holding my sore heart with comfort, they take the pain away and they make me strong ang grateful to God always. Thank you

At a time when my heart is aching and still mournig my dear husband. These words are encouraging and yes, when you do cry out, God will give you strength. I praise His name!

To have the power of God come over you is like nothing else. Lots of times I feel God and restrain myself, afraid of what others will think.Then I feel sad I didn't respond to my Lord. When you do allow the holy spirit to fall on you it is such a refreshing feeling. Like a child on a warm summer day with no worries.

I'm going thru a SERIOUS HEARTACHE right now...Half being my own IMMATURITY and the other half "I GOT PLAYED". This verse gives me SUCH HOPE and TRUST in the LORD that everything will work out if i just have Patience.
