Get ready to cry 😭 this is the video I mentioned in study today: https://youtu.be/bJD7O8zaHyE?si=NfaLUIFhSBvI60-A

Mike l really do request prayer at this time moreso than ever. Lately I've just felt so rejected even by the very family members that l tried so hard to reach out to. I have to admit that I'm not good at unloading my baggage onto others. But it's just that when you feel rejected or that you're not good enough by your own family members it's awful hard to understand. That's about all that I wish to say at this time.

What immediately stood out to me in Genesis 26 was Isaac doing the same thing his father did by presenting his wife as his sister. Once again, God protected them, just as He did with Abraham. Even with that misstep, Isaac was obedient to God and carried himself with a peaceful spirit. When the herders argued with him over the wells his servants dug, Isaac didn’t push back. Instead, he allowed them to keep the wells and simply moved on to dig another. I believe it was this peaceful demeanor that allowed Abimelech and his people to see God at work in Isaac, which ultimately led to a peaceful agreement between them. Hebrews 13 reminds me that faith is lived out in the small, everyday moments. It encourages me to stay grounded, love people, and trust God instead of stressing or trying to handle everything on my own. I am reminded that God isn’t asking for perfection, again, I am enough, and He is simply asking for my faithfulness and trust. Knowing that He equips me with what I need gives me peace and helps me stay steady in my walk.

Hello All, here are my thoughts: Hebrews 12 is reminding us that faith is a journey, like running a long race, you have to focus on controlling your breathing, your thoughts, and keep going even when it is hard. God uses challenges not to punish us, but to redirect us, help us grow stronger and stay focused on Him. Genesis 24–25 shows what that kind of faith looks like in real life, including and trusting God with all my/our decisions, and believing like Abraham did, even when the promise may go beyond your lifetime. We may have been born looking like our parents, but we will die looking like our choices. These chapters remind me to keep moving forward, have faith and trust in God’s timing, make good choices that honor Him, and know that faith takes endurance When we focus on working our own land, our gifts and talents, we give God something to work with. Our faith, trust, and obedience open the door for His blessings and answered prayers
