The Valley

It’s not because I don’t believe. I do. Have for a very long time. I’m really good at believing for you. Share a prayer request and I’ll pray - right then and there. Stand back and watch God move. No doubt about it.  

In my own trials, I’ve wondered…doubted…questioned. I’m not alone. Many Bible stories share the discouragement of men who walked beside Jesus. Thomas doubted. Judas sold Him. Peter denied Him. Good to know. But I want more.

I want victory in the valley…not just in spite of it. Maybe it’s because I’ve walked through so many.  Maybe because I’ve fought so hard to overcome them. Perhaps a little of both.  

I want to sling smooth stones. I want marshmallows in the fiery furnace. I want to Praise Him even in chains. I want it to be unto me according to His Word. And I want to really mean it when I say, “It is well with my soul”.
