Worship is God's way of giving us an opportunity to shift our focus from our own concerns, problems, and circumstances to the way things are in heaven.

No Christian is abandoned at the moment of death. The angels are the ushers, and our passage to heaven is under their escort.

God appeared to His people in the Old Testament and dwelt with His people in the New - and now abides in us by His Spirit.

Throughout Jesus' ministry, He took time away from the crowds and even His disciples to pray by Himself. Jesus modeled the importance of not only serving God with our actions but of being still and drawing close to God to renew our souls.

God has stepped in at the last minute more than once in history (remember Moses at the Red Sea?). And He can do the same for you. Keep turning the pages by faith and let the story play out to the end.

Confession basically means saying the same thing about your sin as God says. So if you say you want to develop integrity, but you're not willing to face the rough parts and confess them, you won't get there.

Ask God to show you any changes you need to make in your relationships. And make sure your closest relationship continues to be with Jesus Himself.
