Keep Your Focus


Savannah and Trouble last weekend!


















Many among us have heavy hearts. We must keep our focus on our Heavenly Father, not our circumstances or the circumstances of those we love. The battle and the victory belongs to the LORD!

Storming the heavens with you,

Andrea

What a lovely picture -- of two lovely creatures, a cute little girl and a cute dog.

And I wholeheartedly agree with the words you wrote...the battle belongs to the Lord, and He will give us the victory!

Darling picture. Which one is named "Trouble?" Lol!

When we take our eyes off the Lord and place them on circumstances we begin to falter.

It is so easy to suffer when others are suffering, and oftentimes they have God's peace and we don't, because we're worrying and not trusting!

Alice Grace said...

I needed that reminder this morning! Thank you!

Jackie said...
