It’s not a coincidence that before Jesus went to the cross, before He rose from the dead, He had to go through the Garden of Gethsemane. That’s where He sweat great drops of blood. That's where He refused to give up. The real victory was won in Gethsemane.

Peter said, “After you have suffered a little while, you will come out established.” The suffering is not permanent. The squeezing, the pressure is not how your story ends. Tune into Joel’s message today, "Grace for Gethsemane"! bit.ly/3LwFSDa

What you may not recognize is God is on that journey with you. All along the way, He’s sustaining you, protecting you, providing for you, ordering your steps. Recognize His goodness.

You have to activate your faith. You have to ask for your dreams, ask for your goals, ask Him to open doors that seem impossible, ask Him to take your family to a new level.

We’re not dealing with a weak God, a God that’s looking for ideas, hoping His plan will work out. We’re dealing with the most powerful force in the universe.
