Be Encouraged Today!

I read a FaceBook post that said: “If you only pray when you’re in trouble, then you are in trouble”. People that do this are in real BIG trouble. We have all gotten busy with life and our careers. When things are going well financially, relationally and physically, well it’s not that we don’t love God, but we sometimes tend to not fellowship with Him as much.
