Collaboration with Alyssa Underwood! *I'm not getting much from life, it makes me want to scream! Won't achieve my smallest goal... let alone my dreams!*. **Your life's hidden in Christ's hands and your competence comes from Him. His Spirit's working His purpose in you... despite how things may seem.**. *I'm frail and I'm weak, I'm sorry. I'm not strong. You say I can handle this test... You couldn't be more wrong!*. **Frailty's the best start for watching our egos flee. Once we know WE can't do it... we begin to get set free.**. *I am sick and tired of the daily drudge! And fellow believers? All they do is JUDGE!*. **So lay it all down. Jesus died to bear the indomitable weight... of every burden you wear.**. *Does God answer prayers? I wonder if HE DOES! If you go and backslide He seems to hold a grudge!*. **I find He answers differently than what I might seek first, for what's pleasant now... May not fill my deepest thirst.**. *Alright. He makes us patient. But I can believe the lies! He has no provision to make me savvy... WISE!*. **If wisdom like the world is what the soul most craves, where's the contentment... in those who are its slaves?** *The believer is the candle Jesus is the flame. Thank you sister for your help... I'm calling on His Name! I will heed your sayings. I have been absurd! He's good to all His promises... They're written in HIS WORD.*. **It's not absurd to question or probe into our doubts. HIS WORD can stand resistance... through every skeptic's shouts. We're here to help each other find truth along the way. JESUS IS THE WAY AND TRUTH AND LIFE WE LIVE EACH DAY! Alyssa Underwood  (the voice of Truth)**. SoulSurvivor  (the doubtful believer)
