You know, when I look up at the stars, I remember something important: the same God who created every single one of those stars also created each of us with the same intention. That Creator, the one who called the universe into existence, is the same one who's looking out for you right now. Think about it.

The God who put light into the sun and motion into the planets is the very one waking you up every morning, giving you another day, another shot. I'm standing here because he's not done with me yet, and if you're reading this, he's not done with you either. That should get you excited because it means that as long as you have breath, you have purpose.

Let me tell you something: I've been in some dark places. I've been broke, homeless, and defeated. But even in my car, with nothing to my name, I still felt God's presence, like he was saying, "Hang on, Steve, I got you.

Just trust. " When you're carrying the weight of the world, sometimes it's easy to forget that God is right there with you. We focus on the problem instead of the solution, but I'm here to tell you that the solution is Him, plain and simple.

He's the one opening doors we can't see, making a way when everything looks like a dead end. And here's the truth about fear: fear will stop you if you let it. But God's word says over and over, "Don't be afraid.

" That's not a suggestion; it's a promise. It's Him saying, "I'm here, and I'm not going anywhere. " Fear will tell you that the future's uncertain, that it's dark.

But faith tells you that God is already there, lighting the way for you. You don't have to know every detail; just trust that the one who holds the stars is holding you too. And remember that dream you keep seeing in your heart, the one that seems too big?

That's God's preview of what He has for you. You're not imagining it for no reason; if you can see it, you can achieve it because He's the one who put it in your mind. So don't hold back.

Don't settle. When God puts something in your heart, He wants you to go after it with all the faith you've got. You know, when life gets hard, it's easy to feel like we're walking alone.

I've been there, thinking, "How am I going to get through this? " But let me tell you something: God is always with you. Even when you feel like giving up, He's right there, reminding you that He's got you.

There were times in my life when I had nothing—no money, no home. I was just a man with a dream, and it was in those moments I felt Him the most, whispering, "Keep going, Steve; I got something better waiting for you. " That presence is real, and when you let it in, you can face anything.

When we start to doubt, we let worry and fear take over, but that's not God's voice. His voice is all about peace—about casting your anxieties onto Him because He cares for you. I tell people all the time: life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.

Are you going to react with fear, or are you going to lean into the faith that He's got a plan bigger than anything you could imagine? God's there in every struggle, every setback, just waiting for you to say, "All right, I trust you. " Faith isn't about knowing all the answers; it's about trusting the one who does.

When life doesn't make sense, that's when God is moving behind the scenes, setting things up in ways you wouldn't believe. All He's asking for is a little trust. Imagine the peace you'd feel if you handed your worries over to Him instead of trying to carry them alone.

That's what He wants for you—not to struggle, but to rest in His promises. So next time life throws you a curveball, remember: He's right there, and sometimes that's all you need—the reminder that you're not alone in this. God's got you, so lean into Him and let Him guide you forward.

You know, every time I look back, I see a trail of fear I had to conquer. And let me tell you, every single time, God was right there telling me, "Don't be afraid. " I used to worry so much about how things would work out, how my dreams could ever become reality.

But God's word says again and again, "Fear not. " So here's the truth: if He's saying that to you, it's because He’s got your future in His hands. All that fear is just noise; it’s just the enemy trying to stop you from reaching what God already has waiting.

Fear has a way of holding us back, but faith—faith moves mountains. I had to learn to stop worrying about what could go wrong and start focusing on what God promised. You know, in my early days, every time I wanted to give up, I'd remember that if I just kept going, God would make a way.

And He did. He took a guy who stuttered, who had every odd against him, and put him right where He wanted him. The future is unknown for a reason, but God knows every part of it.

Faith means stepping out even when you can't see the full picture. That's why it says in the Bible that faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. You don't have to know every detail; you just have to trust that He’s already there, setting things up in ways that are beyond what you could ever imagine.

So here's the question: are you going to let fear hold you back, or are you going to. . .

Step into what God has planned, even if it feels risky. Let me tell you from experience, it's worth it. God will never leave you hanging.

The future is only scary if you're trying to walk into it alone. Faith is the anchor that holds us steady when everything around us is falling apart. You know, there were times when I was living in my car, and it seemed like that's where my story would end, but faith kept me going.

Faith told me this is just a chapter, not the whole book. In those times of adversity, you can either let fear control you, or you can let faith lift you. I chose faith, and I wouldn't be here today if I hadn't.

I always tell people adversity doesn't mean failure; it means growth. It means God is preparing you for something bigger. But here's the thing: you have to stay grounded in faith to see it through.

There's a verse that says God will work all things together for good. Even when we can't see it, He's working behind the scenes, turning our hardships into stepping stones. Faith is not just belief; it's action.

It's choosing to trust that God is using every moment to get you closer to your purpose. And let me tell you, I've faced my share of mountains. I've gone through trials that seemed impossible, but when you keep your eyes on God, when you remember His promises, those mountains don't stand a chance.

If you're going through something tough right now, don't give up. Look at it as the training ground for the blessings that are coming. Faith is what keeps you going; it's what gives you the strength to push through.

So hold on tight; God's about to turn that pain into purpose. One thing I know for sure is that God will never put you through something without a purpose behind it. There were times in my life when I felt like giving up, like the challenges were too big to handle.

But you know what? Those trials built me. They gave me strength and taught me resilience.

God uses those hard times to shape us, to make us into who He's called us to be, and I'm living proof of that. Sometimes when we face a storm, we think God has left us, but that's when He's closest, using those tough times to build a stronger faith within us. Remember the story of Joseph?

He went from the pit to the palace, and every trial was part of God's plan. The same goes for you and me. God's working even when we don't understand it.

Resilience isn't about avoiding hardship; it's about facing it with faith. It's knowing that God has a purpose for every pain, that He's going to use every struggle to bring you closer to your destiny. And let me tell you, there is nothing that can stop you when you let God turn those trials into triumphs.

So next time you're in the middle of a storm, don't ask, "Why me? " Ask, "What's God preparing me for? " Because that's the question that changes everything.

Trusting God in the midst of pain. Let me be real: faith doesn't mean we won't face pain; it means that even in the hardest moments, God is with us, giving us the strength to carry on. There were times I felt completely lost—moments when the hurt seemed too deep to overcome.

But in those times, I found that God's promise never fails. He promises to be our light, our guide, even in the darkest nights. That's the kind of God we serve.

Pain can be overwhelming, but it's also a pathway to a deeper faith. When you're down, God is there to lift you, to show you that His love is greater than any hardship. In those times of pain, we're reminded that we're not walking alone.

He's right there, sustaining us, helping us find the strength to keep going even when it feels impossible. It's easy to get bitter, to let the pain consume us, but that's not what God wants. He wants us to turn to Him, to trust that even the toughest trials have a purpose.

He never wastes a tear, never leaves a moment of pain unused. Every bit of hurt is being transformed into something that will strengthen and uplift us. So don't let the pain make you lose sight of God's promises.

He's with you right now, and He's working things out in ways you can't see. Keep holding on because He's got you, no matter what. Drams are God's way of showing us a preview of our own potential.

Every time you picture yourself starting that business, standing on that stage, or being the person you know you're meant to be, that's not just some wishful thinking; that's God planting seeds. He's giving you a glimpse into a future that's yours for the taking if you have the courage to chase it. When I was young, I wrote on a paper that I wanted to be on TV, and you know what?

No one around me could see it, but that dream kept me going through every rough moment. If you think your dream is too big or too wild, remember this: you serve a God who can do anything. If He's placed that vision in your heart, it's because He knows you're capable of it.

People might doubt you, and you might even doubt yourself, but if God put it there, it's because He's given you everything you need to make it happen. You can't let other people's small minds shrink your big dreams. When you have a God-given vision, no one can take it away from you unless you let them.

It takes courage to dream big, and it takes faith to believe in something you can't see yet. Think about it: God gave you that dream for a reason. He's also asking you to trust him with it.

You might not know the whole plan, but God does. That's why we can step out in faith, knowing he's already paid the way. He didn't place that vision in you by accident; he's got a purpose, and it's bigger than anything you could dream on your own.

And here's the truth: dreaming big isn't just about reaching the top; it's about becoming the person God created you to be. Every time you take a step toward that dream, you're stepping into the life he planned for you. The journey won't be easy, but with every challenge, you'll get closer.

In the end, it's about realizing that God gave you that dream to show you just how much he can do through you. Fear is a feeling we all know too well. It's that voice in the back of your mind telling you that you're not good enough, that you don't have what it takes.

But here's the truth: fear might be loud, but faith is stronger. When fear shows up, that's the exact moment when faith has to step in. I faced plenty of fear in my life, from losing everything I had to being told I'd never make it.

But every time, it was faith that brought me through. God's promise is simple: do not be afraid. He knows what we're up against, and he knows that fear is part of the journey, but he's also given us the power to rise above it.

Faith isn't just believing when things are easy; it's standing firm when everything around you says to quit. When you choose faith over fear, you're telling God, "I trust you more than my circumstances. " Believe me, that's where real strength comes from.

When you let faith guide you, fear loses its grip. Fear tries to paralyze you, but faith moves mountains. It's like walking into the unknown, but with a confidence that's unshakable because you know God has already gone ahead.

The Bible says faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. You might not see the whole path, but faith assures you that there's a way, even when you don't understand it. So the next time fear tries to hold you back, remember that God didn't give you a spirit of fear, but of power.

You've got to step into that power, that faith, and say, "I'm moving forward because God’s got me. " Fear might come knocking, but faith is what opens the door to your purpose. Let God be your strength, and let that faith be your answer.

Life can make it easy to forget the promises God has made to us when things don't go our way. When struggles seem endless, it's natural to feel like God has forgotten about us, but let me tell you, he hasn't. God doesn't make promises he can't keep.

Every promise he's ever made is as real today as it was the day he said it. I held on to his promises in my toughest times, knowing they would carry me through. God promises to be our provider, our strength, our guide.

When we face hard times, it's those promises that give us hope. He said he'd never leave us nor forsake us, and that's the truth. When we cling to that, when we remember that God has promised to see us through, we can face anything.

Those promises are like anchors, keeping us grounded even in the roughest storms. They're a reminder that no matter how dark things get, there's always a light. Trusting in God's promises is about believing in his timing too.

He may not work on our schedule, but he's never late. If he said he's got a plan for you, he does. It's just unfolding in ways we can't see yet.

That's the beauty of faith: it's about trusting that his promises are enough, even when our circumstances make us doubt. So if you're feeling discouraged, go back to those promises. Remember who God says he is: your provider, your protector, your guide.

His word doesn't change, and his promises stand the test of time. Trust in him because he's not finished with you yet. And when you hold on to those promises, you're building a life that no storm can shake.

Here's something I've learned the hard way: challenges aren't meant to stop you; they're meant to grow you. When I look back, every setback, every tough season, it was God's way of preparing me for something bigger. You might be in a tough spot right now, thinking, "Why me?

" But the truth is, every challenge is an opportunity in disguise. It's God's way of shaping you, getting you ready for the blessings he's got in store. Problems aren't punishments; they're part of the process.

God uses those challenges to refine us, to strip away the things that hold us back so we can step fully into our purpose. Every time you face a struggle, it's an invitation to dig deeper, to rely on him even more. Just like the story of Joseph, who went from the pit to the palace, your challenges are only a step in your journey.

Opportunities don't always come wrapped up in a bow; sometimes they look like problems, like struggles. But that's just God at work; he's setting you up, positioning you for something greater. When you look at it that way, when you see challenges as opportunities, your perspective changes.

Instead of asking, "Why me? " start asking, "What’s God preparing me for? " That shift alone can change your life.

So next time you face a mountain, remember that God is right there, giving you the strength to climb it. Don't shy away from the struggle; embrace it. It's building you, preparing you, and before you know it, that challenge will turn into a testimony.

Keep pressing on because God is doing something. Amazing! Even if you can't see it yet, perseverance—that's a word people throw around—but let me tell you, it's what separates those who reach their dreams from those who don't.

Perseverance is what keeps you going when everyone else has given up. I have had to learn this the hard way. There were times I wanted to quit, times when I thought the struggle wasn't worth it.

But every time I pushed through, every time I held on just a little longer, God rewarded that faith. There's a verse that says God will reward those who diligently seek Him. That reward isn't just about success; it's about strength, about resilience, about becoming the person He's called you to be.

Every hardship, every setback is an opportunity to persevere, and when you do, when you refuse to quit, you're building a foundation that can withstand anything. But perseverance isn't just about pushing through; it's about trusting God's timing. You might be ready for the blessing, but God knows when you're truly prepared.

Every delay, every detour—it's part of His plan to build you up, to make you ready for the breakthrough He's bringing you. You've got to trust that the wait is worth it because He's got something bigger than you can imagine. So if you're in a season of waiting, don't give up!

Keep pressing forward, keep believing, because God sees every step you're taking. Persevere, and you'll find that the reward isn't just in the destination but in the strength and faith you gain along the way. Prayer—that's our direct line to God.

It's not just asking for things; it's about building a relationship, about saying, "God, I trust You with everything. " I found that prayer isn't about getting what we want but about connecting with the One who knows what's best for us. Prayer changes things, but most importantly, it changes us.

It gives us the peace and strength we need to face whatever comes our way. When you pray, you're not just speaking words; you're building faith. You're saying, "God, I believe in You," even when I don't understand.

And let me tell you, there's power in that. Prayer takes your worries and hands them over to God, letting Him work things out in ways we could never imagine. It's about surrender, about trusting that He's got a plan even when we don't see it.

Trust and prayer go hand in hand. You can't truly pray without trust, and you can't fully trust without prayer. When we trust God, we're saying, "I know You're in control.

" That trust is what opens doors, what brings blessings we didn't even know we needed. God's timing is perfect and when we lean into Him, when we let go of control, that's when the breakthroughs come. So here's my challenge to you: pray like it's your lifeline, trust like you've got nothing to lose, because with God, you don't.

He's got you and He's got plans that are bigger than you can imagine. Let prayer and trust be your guide and watch as God does what only He can do. Imagine being in a situation where life seems to be falling apart.
