Our relationship with the Lord is a complete relationship.  He knows everything about us.  We don’t have to tell Him anything but He encourages us to have a complete relationship where we tell Him everything.  Our God loves us and is seeking our best good.  The best for us is to live a life that trusts Him.

Hardship comes to everyone.  No one is exempt from difficulty.  Evil prowls the Earth seeking whom it might devour.  We are with God in Christ every moment of every day.  The presence of the Lord does not depend on us.  It is His promise.  It is by grace that we are saved because the Lord has chosen to love us with an undying love.
