Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe.

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?”
She said to him, “Yes, Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming into the world.”
John 11:25-27

Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me.
John 14:1

Jesus said to him, "Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you."
Luke 18:42

Then he said to him, "Get up, and go your way. Your faith has healed you."
Luke 17:19

He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be cured of your disease."
Mark 5:34

Fight the good fight of faith. Lay hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you confessed the good confession in the sight of many witnesses.
1 Timothy 6:12

Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him...These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them and embraced them from afar, and having confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking after a country of their own. If indeed they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had enough time to return. But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.
Hebrews 11

I am tired and I go through seasons of doubt just like everyone else. But, somehow I stumbled upon these verses about FAITH and I know God was speaking to me. Live in faith and do not grow weary. Our God will reward faithfulness. I know it gets tough sometimes, but we have to continually return to him. EVERY day. Surrender your heart to Him and do not walk away.

Funny how the lyrics Im listening to continue to repeat these words as I type:
"I am fractured from the fall, and I want to go home. It takes two, but it used to take one." -"Two" by Ryan Adams

...I am fractured from the fall of our sinfulness and I want to go home to my Father in heaven...we were once one with God and now it takes Jesus and us to be one again with Him. We desire a better country and I cannot wait to get there!!
