Determined to Trust God
“Now I know that the Lord saves his anointed; he will answer him from his holy heaven with the saving might of his right hand. Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God. They collapse and fall, but we rise and stand upright” (Psalm 20:6-8).

Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.
Moving Your Mountain
Unbelief in our trial grieves the heart of God and causes Him pain—it's the mountain we must move. Yet, it's agony that leads us to a place where we pray the ultimate prayer.
