Faith moved by Fear

Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

It will make us kno our prayers will be answered. what a great provision God has made for us. Expect Great things today. God will do Great things today.
