It involves trusting in God's promises even when the path ahead seems unclear, like navigating a construction zone through a jungle. True faith means standing firm with unwavering confidence that God is already working on our behalf.</div><div><br></div><div>God never intended for us to walk our faith journey alone. He provides us with the Holy Spirit and blesses us with what can be called "4 Corner Friends" – those who support and carry us to Jesus when we lack the strength or clarity to see the way forward. Seeking God first is crucial, as it is through this relationship that we gain the strength, provision, and community necessary to nurture our faith.</div><div><br></div><div>Building adult friendships requires time, energy, and intentionality, but it is part of God's plan for us and His Kingdom's growth. He knows exactly who we need in our lives and in whose life we are meant to be a supportive presence, tailored to each season. As we pray for our own "4 Corner Friends," we can take comfort in knowing that we are supported by a community, such as the But God Sister Squad, standing in the corner for us.</div> Mon, 28 Apr 2025 13:54:00 CDT
