Says who?

• I'll never see my dreams come true. "Says who?"
• I will never get out of this vicious cycle of barely getting by financially. "Says who?"
• I just cannot be all God wants me to be. "Says who?"
• Well, I'm just stupid, I guess. "Says who?"

• I'll never find a job. "Says who?"

There is someone I know who says "YOU CAN!".........."YOU!"

 

Confess God's Word: I CAN do all things through Christ who strengthens me – Philippians 4:13.
