Being Confident in God/Faith

This is what I was writing yesterday, but things happened and I didn't get a chance to post before I went to the doctor. And then I got home and changed real quick and went to the Basement. So, sorry for not posting yesterday, but I tried! haha

"Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then will I be confident." Psalm 27:3
It's hard to live by faith and not by fear. I think we sometimes put too much trust and confidence in ourselves and when problems come we freak out because we can't handle them. I sent out this verse today so that we can be encouraged by it. I want to have that kind of confidence in God. Reading this does encourage me. It makes me want to be strong. It makes me want to fight. I have to have that kind of faith. That no matter what happens in my life, I will be confident in God and His mighty power. I don't always have that kind of faith, actually a lot of the time I don't. But I want God to teach me to have it.

No gain yesterday, no loss, and no hospital. Actually Bonnie said I was down a little bit, but it wasn't really enough to account for so she just said that I maintained. All my doctors were pleased with everything. Bonnie was really afraid that after last week I was going to loose weight and be put back into the hospital so she was very glad I didn't loose. All in all I'm still doing good.
The Basement last night was awesome, as always. During praise and worship I felt like I worshipped God like I never have before. I don't know, it's like it was just me and Him. I didn't care who was around me or what they thought. It felt like me and God.

"He said to her 'Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.'" Mark 5:34
I sent this one out today..... A lot of the time (I know for me) we forget what we have when we have faith in our Lord and Savior. He has so much power, strength and love. But, sometimes when we go through tough situations and struggles we forget to have that faith. We forget to draw that strength that He will freely give us. We get so caught up in our problems and how we can fix them, we forget that we have faith that can move a mountain. I don't always draw strength from God and I don't always have faith like I should. But, the moment we put our faith into practice God's strength comes alive in us.
