- 2:08How often have you woken up and said, Dear God, thank you for all that is happening in my life.
- 2:16The good, the bad, and the ugly.
- 2:19We praise God on the good days. We praise God on the bad days.
- 2:23We must remember that no matter what happens, no matter how many times we feel
- 2:27like we're taking a step back, we need to take five steps forward.
- 2:31God is in our lives for a reason.
- 2:34God created us in his image for a purpose. We all have gifts.
- 2:38We all have talents. Are you using your gifts?
- 2:41Are you applying yourself and realizing that God is right next to you?
- 2:47How often have you woken up and said, thank God, thank God.
- 2:52How often have you got to work, got at your desk, started your project and said,
- 2:59God, allow today to be better than yesterday or, oh, God, it's me.
- 3:05It's Angel. I'm at my desk.

- 3:13You know, allow this sickness to go away. I leave it at your feet.
- 3:16Hey, dear God, I feel like every day is another challenge.
- 3:21I feel like every day is another cloud that's over me.
- 3:26Help me, Lord, take away all these fears, the suffering.
- 3:30How many of you have said, Lord, I've been diagnosed with something and I need you.
- 3:36Take your healing hands and apply it. Some of us also wake up and say,
- 3:41Lord, you took somebody from me. They've gone home to be with you.
- 3:46I'm alone. I miss them.
- 3:49All these things go through our minds. All these things go through our heads.
- 3:53And we have to remember that God has a gift for us. God has a plan for us.
- 4:00God is not punishing. God is not a punisher. God is our Heavenly Father who loves us so much.
- 4:08And all He wants you to do is acknowledge that He is next to you.
- 4:14You know, every single day I do this show, I always get asked,
- 4:18why are you always in a good mood?
- 4:20Even when you're in a bad mood, I can't tell. And I'm so grateful for what God
- 4:24has given me. I'm grateful for all the things that have happened to me.
- 4:28Even when I'm having the struggles that I do, refrigerator breaking,
- 4:31microwave never being fixed until recently, praying to God that,
- 4:36you know, my marriage continues on in a good way when we were having difficulties in 2014.
- 4:42Team, praying to God and hoping that he will continue to heal my children and
- 4:47others, praying to God that, you know, allow the people that I work with to
- 4:52have some patience, understanding.
- 4:56And you know what? One way or another, prayers get answered.
- 5:00Just the other day, I heard from a colleague, Angel, I prayed.
- 5:04I was praying to God about something, and I got an answer that's powerful.
- 5:10Some of us hear our Heavenly Father speak to us.
- 5:14He speaks to us in so many different ways. It could be a song on the radio.
- 5:18It could be a text message. It could be a verse. Open your eyes.
- 5:24Allow yourselves to hear the Lord. Open your heart and let him in. Let's pray.
- 5:30Heavenly Father, we thank you for today's message. We thank you,
- 5:32Lord, for always being a part of our lives.
- 5:34Lord, we just ask you to be with those that are having challenging times and
- 5:40struggling with their faith.
- 5:42Allow them to hear your whispers in our ears when we hear you say, I am with you.
- 5:49I believe in you. I love you. And I'm never going to leave your side.
- 5:53May God be with you. May he shine his light upon you and grant each and every
- 5:57single one of you peace on earth.
