Living On A Prayer

Part of the YAV experience includes growth in faith. There have been numerous times throughout the year so far that God has been revealed to me.

It seems that any time I've been struggling God has put exactly what I needed to see right in front of me. My church gave me a daily journal/devotional book, and there have been many times while reading that the scripture of the day directly corresponds to things going on in my life.

Through the bible study I attend I have also heard God speaking to me. One thing that has really stuck out to me is going to God first – always. When something is bothering me or annoying me the first thing I want to do is tell someone, but that’s not always possible here. I really need to let it out, though, so instead of calling a friend, I go to God. I always feel better just telling God what’s going on, and I know God is really listening too.
