Okay I have to tell you how much I love this woman, Heather, who heard me speak at a retreat in 2009. Hey this is Debbie Griffith with Everyday Matters. Heather wrote me afterwards asking me to help her through some difficult times and of course I directed her to the truth of God’s Word, and from that I became her accountability friend as she began reading the Bible and telling me how it was applying to her life.

Recently she wrote: “I did memorize Philippians 4:6-7 about not worrying about anything and along with thanking God I’d experience His peace. I kept praying and praying the verses but no peace came.  I told my mom, and she reminded me that God promises to work ALL things for the good from Romans 8:28. I then saw my worry was sinful.  The verse says, ‘Don’t worry about anything’ and there I was praying, but not believing.  So, I asked for forgiveness and then prayed the way I should have. Immediately my doubt melted away and His peace washed over me. It’s so exciting that God is alive and well…everyday!”
